Abstract
UniECAD is an integrated electronic CAD system, the user interface development system is the key of the integration of UniECAD. This paper presents the architecture of GUIDS, a graphical user interface development system in UniECAD, and then discusses a series of new techniques and methods in the design and the implementation of this system around the following aspects: the editing environment of interface elements, the implementation of dialogue control and the automatic generation of interface code. As an example, the generation of the main interfaces of UniECAD shows the procedure of the development of user interfaces with this development system.
