Purdue Engineering Computing Environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The first priority for engineering computing of the future must be an infrastructure that not only permits diverse computing, but indeed stimulates effective exchange and collaboration across platforms. Connectivity in a "computing laboratory" should be of such convenience and robustness that most students will prefer to bring their own computer to the lab than to use a university owned machine in that lab. As the planned cross-platform computing environment is successfully implemented, the portion of engineering students who own a computer is expected to exceed 75% within 3-5 years. widget.ecn.purdue.edu /~huggins/computing/single.html   (2281 words)

Widget The state of the widgets and the grab is restored by a call to $widget−>Unbusy. Note however that while a window exists for $widget the perl object is maintained (due to "references" in perl/Tk internals) even though original variables may have gone out of scope. The update method is useful in scripts where you are performing a long-running computation but you still want the application to respond to events such as user interactions; if you occasionally call update then user input will be processed during the next call to update. www.math.ucla.edu /computing/docindex/perl-Tk-man-167.html   (2969 words)

widget - a definition from Whatis.com Widgets include icons, pull-down menus, buttons, selection boxes, progress indicators, on-off checkmarks, scroll bars, windows, window edges (that let you resize the window), toggle buttons, forms, and many other devices for displaying information and for inviting, accepting, and responding to user actions. In programming, a widget also means the small program that is written in order to describe what a particular widget looks like, how it behaves, and how it interacts in response to user actions. In object-oriented programming (OOP), each type of widget is defined as a class (or a subclass under a broad generic widget class) and is always associated with a particular window. whatis.techtarget.com /definition/0,,sid9_gci213364,00.html   (375 words)

The Widget Maker's Prime Directive - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog As soon as your widgets fade away into their OpenGL-accelerated purgatory, their resource usage drops to zero and your full-sized applications have the undivided attention of your CPU again. It is the responsibility of each individual widget to keep track of its processing and return it to the system when put away. If designers fail to do this, users will notice their computers run more slowly after Dashboard is run, conclude it’s a resource hog, and maybe even take the drastic step of disabling it all together. www.oreillynet.com /mac/blog/2006/07/the_widget_makers_prime_direct.html   (2416 words)

There are also widgets that work in tandem with other apps — you'll find a host of remote controls for iTunes, and there's even a widget that will pull the day's events out of Microsoft Outlook and display them right on your desktop. www.smallbusinesscomputing.com /buyersguide/print.php/3575716   (1233 words)

Overview IDL widgets are significantly easier to use than other alternatives, such as writing a C language program using the native window system graphical interface toolkit directly. Events from IDL widgets are generated in the form of an IDL structure variable specific to the widget. Depending on the type of widget, the widget value may represent a static item set by the programmer (the label of a button widget, for example) or a dynamic value set by the user (the numerical value of a slider widget, for example). www.astro.princeton.edu /~esirko/idl_html_help/widgets3.html   (909 words)

mekentosj.com | Xgrid@Stanford Widget - Dashboard widget... Apple could develop the widget, for example with a design similar to the existing Tachometer screensaver in the Technology Preview 2 version (TP2), and the widget could be shipped with Tiger Contrary to the screensaver, the agent would get an idea of the cluster status even when its computer is not idle and potentially not actually participating in the cluster; this will not be the case if the agent is set to 'always' accept tasks. The widget could also make sense for the user of a xgrid client or controller; it seems the APIs for the client will be available in Tiger to allow the developement of a widget. mekentosj.com /widgets/xgrid/letter.html   (527 words)
