[Gnumed-devel] Rethinking Medications… button grouping

[Jim Busser]

I have been noticing and thinking several things...

*******************************************************
Buttons…

We should help users to be aware, through grouping and dimming, those buttons 
that depend on anything (like a list item) to be in focus. Maybe it is too 
difficult in 0.8-0.9 with wxWidgets to achieve contextual "dimming" but can we 
at least decide if grouping should be a consistent approach?

I was thinking, for example, that:

"Add" could be by itself, positioned among a "left cluster" -- perhaps for now 
by itself.

Buttons that depend on a selection could and IMHO should be clustered "at 
centre" if that is acceptable.

"Cancel" depends on no selection and could be presented at right.

This leaves any buttons that would not depend on a selection, such as "Info" 
and "ADR" 
- if these are to be "general" then I propose they should be alongside the 
"Add" button
- if intended to be list selection-specific, suggest they be included in the 
middle group.
