Thanks for your comments too.  The target user is a prime consideration for application navigation.  In my career in LOB development, simple worked better.

 

Billy Hollis and crew spent a long time working with non-power users to develop and refine his approach.

 

What would be an interesting study is to get 4-6 users from the business work and do a usability study.

 

I'm always open to learning new approaches.

 

Cheers,

NLN is a concept that can be implemented in many ways.

 

Does your approach allow the user to have multiple forms open at once?  ex, sales, billing and a report?  Does form get torn down if you navigate away from it?

 

Multitasking is a driving force behind NLN.  Also, being able to navigate to anywhere all the time is important.

 

Tearing off could be cool for some users with multiple monitors.  I wrote software for small city governements and water authorities.  A 19" monitor was standard there.

 

I also have  Zune style application navigation bar that encapsulates navigation and open forms. 

 

I think the target user is a prime consideration when choosing a navigation solution.

 

Cheers,

 

Karl

Thanks for your comments and point of view.

 

I'm not a fan of LOB apps that spawn multiple windows.  I've seen business app end users desktops cluttered with a mess of windows that leads to all sorts of problems.  Some of the problems are due to training and using, some because of the software allowing the non-advanced computer user the ability to over extend themselves.

 

I think the target user is a prime consideration when choosing a navigation solution.

 

Good points.  If you have an example to share that demo's what you wrote about, please share.  Always interested in different approaches.

 

Cheers,

 

Karl

Thank you for your very kind words on XAML Power Toys.

WPF is the BOMB.  I have loved WPF from the fist time I looked at it. 

No turning back!

Sorry, but Visual Studio Add-In's, do not run on the Express Editions of Visual Studio.

Once I publish Ocean, you will be able to do almost everything, even in Express Editions of VS.

Keep on eye on my blog for Ocean.

Cheers,

Karl
