PRODNO 5871-AAA IBM SAA Common User Access
Controls Library/2 Version 1.0 (20G0400)
OVERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
o Offers ability to conform to CUA 91 architecture for OS/2
Version 1.3 and Windows Version 3.0.
o Relieves application developers of significant user interface
development efforts which allows them to concentrate on the
competitive functions.
o Provides for easier application migration to OS/2 Version 2.0
because the CUA Controls APIs for OS/2 Version 1.3 and Windows
Version 3.0 are consistent with those found in OS/2 Version 2.0.
DESCRIPTION
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
Common User Access Controls Library provides reusable code components
that enable the IBM graphical user interface CUA 91 architecture.
Refer to Programming Announcement 291-467, dated September 11, 1991,
for a description of the CUA 91 architecture. Today, IBM is
announcing that it will provide the CUA Controls for OS/2 Version 1.3
and Windows Version 3.0 in the IBM SAA Common User Access Controls
Library/2. Common User Access Controls Library provides controls
consistent with OS/2 Version 2.0 in look and feel and in API
structure. Refer to Programming Announcement 291-598, dated
October 22, 1991, for a description of OS/2 Version 2.0.
Common User Access Controls Library is a productivity tool
that embodies the CUA user interface architecture in a set of dynamic
link libraries (DLLs). These DLLs may be incorporated directly with
the application code thus allowing the developer to focus more on the
content and quality of their application rather than on CUA
conformance. The net results should be greater end user satisfaction
with less development resource.
USER PRODUCTIVITY
There are two aspects of user productivity addressed by the Common
User Access Controls Library:
o Developer productivity gains:
- through utilization of reusable components.
- through consistency with OS/2 Version 2.0 APIs.
o End user productivity gains resulting from adoption of CUA.
IBM has designed its Common User Access Controls Library to
allow developers to maximize their productivity when developing
applications that conform to the CUA 91 architecture. This
productivity gain can be realized through reusable components, which
implement constructs that employ the CUA 91 architecture. Packaged
as dynamic link libraries, portions of the Common User Access
Controls Library can be shipped directly with the developed
application. Details concerning which portions can be redistributed
with the developed application are specified in the License
Information shipped in the program package.
Common User Access Controls Library is structured to conform
to the same APIs as found in OS/2 Version 2.0. This similarity of
APIs between the CUA Controls has the effect of reducing rework in
migrating applications incorporating Common User Access Controls
Library from OS/2 Version 1.3 or Windows Version 3.0 to OS/2
Version 2.0. The APIs for IBM SAA Common User Access Controls
Library/2 Version 1.0 in the OS/2 Version 1.3 environment are the
same as the CUA Controls in OS/2 Version 2.0. Due to differences
between OS/2 Presentation Manager and Windows, the APIs for Common
User Access Controls Library in the Windows Version 3.0 environment
are similar to those in OS/2 Version 2.0.
The CUA 91 architecture enhances the object-based user
interface defined in previous CUA guidelines. Rather than
interacting with applications, users interact with objects that
represent the inputs and outputs of their jobs. CUA conformance
benefits an organization in the following two ways:
o the benefits specific to adopting CUA 91 architecture.
o the benefits of user interface consistency between applications.
Increased user productivity is enabled through emphasis on
direct manipulation of objects. Objects, which are represented by
controls and icons in applications, mimic objects in the real world.
A user can transfer knowledge about an object from the real world to
the computer environment. A sense of familiarity is provided and
learning time and errors are reduced. The user is allowed to
concentrate more on the task at hand.
User interface consistency across multiple applications and
environments helps a user transfer knowledge of one product to
another. Minimizing the need to learn new techniques for similar
tasks should yield savings in user training. Common User Access
Controls Library helps stretch this consistency to the OS/2
Version 1.3 and Windows Version 3.0 platforms.
GROWTH ENABLEMENT
The similarity of Common User Access Controls Library to the CUA 91
architecture constructs in OS/2 Version 2.0 increases organizations'
opportunities to develop code that can be more easily migrated to
OS/2 Version 2.0. Those customers who plan to migrate to OS/2
Version 2.0 with near term OS/2 Version 1.3 or Windows Version 3.0
development can better position their application for migration to
OS/2 Version 2.0. Because those portions of applications using
Common User Access Controls Library which were developed for OS/2
Version 1.3 and Windows Version 3.0 will run on OS/2 Version 2.0, an
organization is also better able to stage technical growth as
dictated by their business.
Common User Access Controls Library components provide the
application developer with many highly flexible features. In
addition, many customization options are provided to allow the
developer to change the appearance of the controls.
INVESTMENT PROTECTION
Common User Access Controls Library supports existing customer
investment by enabling the CUA 91 architecture on platforms which
support IBM compatible 286-based machines.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
In September 1991, IBM announced CUA extensions to its SAA
architecture. The SAA CUA 91 architecture strategy is focused on
providing a user interface that can exploit increasing levels of
application-to-application interoperability at the programming
workstation while allowing users the freedom to customize and
organize their work environments as the job requires. Application
developers are encouraged to participate in this strategy by enabling
their application to the enhancements as documented in the following
publications: SAA CUA Guide to User Interface Design (SC34-4289) and
SAA CUA Advanced Interface Design Reference (SC34-4290).
This strategy recognizes that application developers require
not only a definition of the user interface, but productivity tools
to assist in the development of software to make the user interface a
reality. The Common User Access Controls Library provides the
application developer a set of dynamic link libraries (DLLs) for both
the OS/2 Version 1.3 and Windows Version 3.0 programming
environments that can be used in the development of applications that
conform to the CUA 91 architecture. Common User Access Controls
Library fully exploits CUA 91 architecture guidelines. Other CUA 91
architecture guidelines such as the definition of major objects are
the responsibility of the application developer.
DLLs, sample code and online documentation are provided for
the following the CUA 91 architecture constructs:
o Container Control
o Notebook Control
o Value Set Control
o Slider Control
o File Dialog
o Font Dialog
o Spin Button Control (for Windows only, already included in OS/2
Version 1.3 operating system).
Usage of these controls will allow development of programs
that conform to the application orientation of the CUA 91
architecture for both the OS/2 Version 1.3 and Windows Version 3.0
environment. The consistency of the Common User Access Controls
Library interfaces with the new APIs in OS/2 Version 2.0 will provide
for user interface migration with minimal rework.
