Windows Forms Best Practices This question is way too broad to be answerable in a Q&A format. From the faq: "Your questions should be reasonably scoped. If you can imagine an entire book that answers your question, you’re asking too much. " |

Need some advice on UI design for a form with a ListBox If you're getting that much pushback, just use an OK/Cancel pair with confirmation message boxes. That's the "standard" way of doing it anyway. The OK button will process the selected items, the Cancel button will not. |

Need some advice on UI design for a form with a ListBox If the cancel button is a potential problem, ask for verification: "You selected some items for processing, are you sure you want to cancel?" |

UI Design / Flow - what should “Save” and “Cancel” do? I'm not comfortable with undoing that much all in one shot. If a user does a whole bunch of work, and then hits cancel by mistake, he's going to be pissed. Regardless of what others are saying here, data grids are almost always designed this way; they are "record-centric," and this is how the general public has become accustomed to using them. |

Why do people clear the screen multiple times when using a calculator? +1 Yes, this. Not the fact that there are two clear buttons (C and CE), but that on many older calculators pressing C once cleared the current entry (CE), and pressing it twice cleared the entire calculation. I still have this muscle memory, and still press the C key twice, just because I don't want to have to think about it. |

Control to select (not open) a file on windows I got the image from componentone.com/SuperProducts/FilePickerSilverlight. But you can simulate the same control on any platform by putting a button next to a textbox. The button opens a File/Open dialog, and you put the return value into the textbox. |
