[jira] Commented: (CAY-481) Dialog Cancel/Close button positioning

["Andrus Adamchik (JIRA)" <de...@cayenne.apache.org>]

Andrus Adamchik commented on CAY-481:
-------------------------------------

This is an OS X convention (a button on the right performs the main operation, while Close/Cancel is less prominent, usually to the left of the "main" button...). Correct solution would be to implement some platform-sensitive button layout strategy. Patches welcome.

> Hi,
> I have notice that in some of the Cayenne Modeller dialogs the "Close" and "Cancel" buttons are not always the right most button.
> This is generally the convention with Microsoft Windows (cant remember if this is also the case with MacOS). 
> While this may sound trivial issue, when I cancel or close dialogs I will often hit the right hand button without even reading the label. In the "Generate DB Schema: Options" I actually dropped the existing tables when I hit the "Generate" button by accident. This was not what I was expecting.
> Dialogs which do not have the Cancel/Close on the right hand side include:
> "Reengineer DB Schema: Connect to Database"
> "Reengineer DB Schema: Options"
> "Generate Java Classes"
> "Generate DB Schema: Connect to Database"
> "Generate DB Schema: Options"
> "Edit Preferences"
> regards Malcolm Edgar'
