Purely subjective UI question. What do people prefer on a toolbar or
form given that there is some process which can be started and stopped.
(a) Two buttons ie: [Start] [Stop] one of which is always not enabled,
(ie when the process in underway only Stop is enabled)
or
(b) One button which changes - ie [Start] which once the process starts
changes to [Stop]
I suspect from what I re-call of POET and other UI books that (a) is the
best choice as swapping UI around on people is generally considered a
bad thing, but then two buttons take up twice the amount of limited
screen real-estate...
