Description

A kind of graphical interface of user condition control method based on state machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Computer Applied Technology field, the presentation layer graphical interface of user field that a kind of software is realized, specifically a kind of graphical interface of user condition control method based on state machine.
Background technology
In a graphical interface of user of realizing based on .NET Winforms technology, interface be nested by one group of interface control, combine.For example, normally by Form(forms) as basic container, wherein comprise toolbar, various input control (text, date etc.) and data form control etc., its basic composition structure is as shown in Figure 1.User interface state is made up of the state of the control that forms interface.The state of control comprises two state values: available, unavailable.
When user is in the time operating a graphical interfaces, there is many factors to cause user interface state difference.For example user interface is opened rear acquiescence in non-editing mode, and at this moment the input control at interface etc., in down state, is clicked the operations such as the Edit button as user, can make the input control at interface enter into upstate.Other, for example when not having the power of amendment of current data, user prescribes a time limit, and all controls at whole interface are in down state.
In the time doing Development of Graphical Interfaces, the control of interfacial state is set according to different factors, be more loaded down with trivial details work, and often consider entirely not cause program error because of state control in the time safeguarding.
If can design a kind of general interfacial state control method, improve the exploitation of interfacial state control, the efficiency of maintenance, reduce the probability of makeing mistakes, be a very valuable improvement.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of graphical interface of user condition control method based on state machine.
The object of the invention is to realize in the following manner, comprise the steps content: 1) user interface state machine is set; 2) interface control is carried out associated with state machine; 3) in program, trigger the interfacial state control based on state machine; Wherein:
Based on step 1), family interfacial state machine is made up of " state transition " between multiple " state nodes " and the state at description interface,
Described, " state node " comprises following information: status indicator, Status Name, state description;
Described, " state transition " comprises following information: migration mark, migration title, migration source state, migration dbjective state, wherein, migration source state and migration dbjective state associated " state node " respectively;
Described, between two " state node ", allow multiple " state transition " to carry out association, for expressing different state transition application scenarioss;
Based on step 2), it is associated that interface control and state machine carry out, and mainly completes following sub-step:
(1) corresponding relation of " state node " of interface control and state machine is set, this corresponding relation is a many-to-many relationship, and an interface control covers in multiple " state nodes ", and one " state node " comprises multiple interface controls;
(2) state of the interface control that setting " state node " comprises;
Based on step 2) design, the corresponding relation of " state node " and interface control, it is an independently entity, false code type called after: UIStateControl, this entity comprises following information: state node mark, interface control mark, interface control state, and wherein interface control state comprises two enumerated values: available, unavailable;
Based on step 3), in program, trigger the interfacial state control based on state machine, mainly comprise following sub-step:
(1), in concrete interface operation process, in the time will carrying out the change of interfacial state, need to call the state machine state migration DLL (dynamic link library) of state machine, and obtain the state set of the interface control returning;
Further, the sub-step (1) based on step 3, state machine state migration DLL (dynamic link library), its false code is as follows:
List<?UIStateControl>?TrasitState(string?curStateID,?string?transitionID,?out?string?targetStateID);
Wherein curStateID is state machine " state node " mark that represents current interface status; TransitionID is the mark of " state transition " that will carry out; TargetStateID is an output parameter, is used for identifying carrying out by method the mark of " state node " moving to; Rreturn value is the set of one " state node " and interface control associated entity UIStateControl, is illustrated in after manner of execution interface control state set;
(2), according to the rreturn value of the sub-step of step 3) (1), interface control state is read in circulation, by program, the state machine of respective interface control is arranged, and completes the control of interfacial state.
Excellent effect of the present invention: by adopting said method in Development of Graphical Interfaces process, the control operation of normalizable user interface state, improves the exploitation of interfacial state control, the efficiency of maintenance, reduces the probability of makeing mistakes.

Embodiment
Be described in detail below of the present invention with reference to Figure of description.
Below will be by the detailed description to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, make above-mentioned target of the present invention, feature and advantage more clear, understandable.
Taking the purchase order of certain system as example, purchase order interface, comprises a toolbar, one group of input control and a data grid control.Its interface prototype as shown in Figure 4.Toolbar has three buttons: newly-built, editor, preserve, interface rule definition is as follows:
1. after open at interface, acquiescence is in original state, and newly-built, Edit button is in upstate, and save button is in down state.Interface input control and data form control are in down state.
2. in the time that user clicks newly-built button, interface is in newly-built state, and wherein all imported controls and data form control be all in upstate, and Edit button is in down state, and save button is in upstate.
3. in the time that user clicks Edit button, interface is in editing mode; Wherein O/No. is in down state, and other imported controls and data form control be in upstate, and newly-built button is in down state, and save button is in upstate.
4. when user clicks save button, after system is preserved successfully, interface turns back to original state.
First, set up three interfacial states: initial, newly-built, can edit, and the transition relationship of three states is set, as shown in Figure 5.Then, under three kinds of states of definition, the status information of interface control is as follows:
When interface is under original state, while clicking newly-built button, the TrasitState method of routine call state machine, " initially " state node and " newly-built " status indicator are imported into, get control status list corresponding to " newly-built " state node by interface, then interface control is carried out the setting of state, thereby enter into newly-built state.
Except the technical characterictic described in instructions, be the known technology of those skilled in the art.
