Lists
CT_COMBO
  • Very space efficient
  • Can display unlimited amount of entries
  • Not as quick as listbox when selecting an entry
  • Allowing the user to select one entry out of many
CT_TOOLBOX
  • Very fast and easy way to select an entry
  • Direct overview over all possible values
  • Very space inefficient
  • Letting the user select one out of a few options
CT_CHECKBOXES Example Example
CT_TREE
  • Hieracharic view
  • Very fast engine search
  • Wasted space on the left due to indentation
CT_CONTROLS_TABLE
  • Repeatable control patterns
  • Complicated to set up
CT_XCOMBO
  • Can fit many values within very little space
  • Cumbersome to use since the user has to guess what the next value would be. From a usability point of view this control should never be used
CT_LISTBOX
  • Good way to disable multiple values at once
  • User can quickly select the value needed
  • Supports drag and drop
  • Needs some vertical space for a good user experience
CT_LISTNBOX
  • Good way to disable multiple values at once
  • User can quickly select the value needed
  • Can display as many rows as needed
  • Needs some vertical space for a good user experience
  • Needs a bit more scripting to get the columns set up and filled
