Bold Labels

The OPEN LOOK specification calls for the labels of all control objects to be bold. When you prototype an interface in Devguide, the label font will appear bold. However, the default font weight for labels in gmf-generated interfaces is normal. When you run your gmf program, the labels will not be bold.

Help

gmf does not support Help as implemented in Devguide.

Connections Between Base Windows

gmf will generate an error message if your interface has connections between separate Base Windows.

Miscellaneous Unsupported GUI Elements

The following are user interface elements that are available in Devguide but are currently not supported by gmf:

• Icons for Base Windows
• Term Panes
• Numeric TextFields
• Drag and Drop from a Canvas or a Scrolling List
• Slider end values Although you can include slider end-values in your interface prototype in Devguide, they will not appear in your compiled application.

gmf simply ignores most of these unsupported elements when it reads the GIL file. However, if you attempt to use gmf to generate code for an interface that includes term panes or numeric TextFields, gmf will convert them to text panes and text fields, respectively.
