Object Reference in Variable?

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Richard,

I'm sure we are on the same page :-)

In a previous post, you asked me what I thought about Win ribbons and  
I did not reply :-(
Probably should we discuss about this off list but, here are my first  
feelings:
Actually, ribbons seem to be a kind of 'visual' contextual menus eg  
buttons dedicated to appropriate tasks in a given context.
If it sounds good from a technocratic point of view, I'm afraid that  
users who need to 'recognize' an interface, are finally confused when  
all change because you have bolded a word :-)
So, at first sight, a good idea but, from a cognitive psychology  
point of view :-) I'm not sure it's so good.
In addition, I don't like software that claim every minute 'I'm  
clever' but I prefer software that make the user claim 'Finally I'm  
really good' :-)
 From a cognitive psychology point of view :-)
Sure you understand...
