Abstract

Current technology used for displaying Windows forms is about 15 years old and it is based on two parts of the Windows operating system - User32 library and GDI/GDI+ API. Microsoft’s new technologies in this area, WPF and XAML, improve current situation by offering better optimization of code execution, extended code reusability and a fresh new visual appearance. New technologies improve quality of created GUI and increase the usage area. Usage of these new technologies in implementing GUI for dental charts application which is developed as a part of a broader medical information system is described in this paper. Achieved results confirm improved quality which is brought by new technologies.
