What does F column and S column mean focus and visable active_layer focus sets what layers return data in a query

multiple layers

feature query results tree view where node is a layer the hilighted green layer is the active layer and subnodes are features being hit

This screen gives overview of "viewer mode" Now, if a layer is selected for editing I think the toolbar should reload so editing commands are visible like add/move/remove geometry/vertex etc

+ Apply button

And the status bar above should be: 1 or 2 rows data height + I would like to give a user possibility to select what data to display or may be we could try to distinguish "screen modes" similarly to handheld GPS like Magellan Meridian there are 3-5 preconfigured screen modes, each providing different configuration of displayed details

• editing mode
• navigation mode
• no GPS mode

etc.

For example, in editing mode user does not need to get course of going, I think but in navigation, it will be needed

Main Menu

we can use the button on the side of the phone to flip through these modes

not sure about this button it seems to be hardware-specific Standard buttons are 4 buttons in front i have one on the 700w I have 2 buttons and 1 slider on the left but 1 button and the slider are for voice recording second button has IE icon on it and launches IE ​http://trac.osgeo.org/moss4g/wiki/irc/2007-05-19 can you re-use the small checkbox image in multiple locations or do you want me to make one for each state on every choiceI think I will draw standard checkbox you know, standard control for checkbox, radio button and I'm thinking about using standard classes windows for buttons not toolbar but buttons in dialog boxes First I'm focusing on the main screen
