Microsoft Dynamic AX

[Rob MacFadyen]

I've seen the microsoft product (microsoft dynamic AX). it really
impressed me cause it looks like windows form, but it is web form (run on
IE). it hidden menubar, toolbar and everything on IE menu, and create the
menubar with own menu design. how to hide the menubar, toolbar and
everything on IE that without create a new window ? and how to design the
look and feel IE just like ordinary windows form ?

thanks

Seth,

With the current window you can't make the addres bar, tool bar, etc,
disappear. You can only do that to a new window that you are opening. That
new window can then close the old window... so you can sort of fake it.

To make a web application look like a rich client application is possible...
it just takes considerable design effort with the HTML. Getting it to work
on different browsers can be challenging, and the look/feel could change
(opera has "wierd" buttons).

All in all doable... but a lot of work.

And neither Safari nor Camino uses styles (either inline or CSS) at all when
rendering buttons!

All in all doable... but a lot of work.

And a total waste of time and effort. What possible benefit could there be
in making a WebForm look like a WinForm?

is more complicated programming than ASP.NET as well. is it the right
solution for my problem ?
