Description
The present invention system provides a kind of window interface control method, relates in particular to a kind of computer mouse device that utilizes and calibrate a form frame or a procedure chart calibration method from window interface.
In the environment of office, accepted by most computer user based on the window interface (window interface) of form.In window interface, executable program (executable program) is often represented with a kind of program icon (programicon).When the program of execution, the user must move to a vernier on the icon of this program earlier, and then utilizes the left side button of computer mouse device to double-click fast to carry out this program.Usually many program icons can be collected in the form frame, just store the various archive files as pressing from both sides with archive files.And all form frames all are to be displayed in the square region of window interface.Each form frame can utilize Genius mouse and vernier to open or close.When a form frame was closed, it can be shown as was that a form block diagram mark is used for representing this pent form frame.Form block diagram also available Genius mouse of mark and vernier after closing open it.
Traditional window interface described above has following three kinds of problems to exist: first, in some cases, the area shared owing to whole form frames is too big, therefore have only the form frame of part can be displayed on the monitor screen, this moment, window interface can provide one or two scroll bars (scrolling bar) to be used for shown form frame on the scrolling monitor screen so that use and can see the form frame that other are not shown.Come the scrolling window interface not high with scroll bar with way inconvenience and the efficient very of seeking a form frame.
The second, because any part that the form frame can be on window interface at will moves and amplifies or dwindle, therefore some form frames may partly or entirely be covered by other form frames sometimes.Unless in this case that some is overlapping form frame is removed it or close with Genius mouse and vernier, the form frame that not so is covered is can't be found, and this finding method is also pretty troublesome.In addition the relative position of permanent each form frame of change window interface of the position of mobile form frame meeting is the something of taking very much the time if with Genius mouse and vernier the form frame that is moved is recalled to original position.And with a buttoned-up form frame reopen neither part thing easily.Because the form frame can be converted into a form block diagram mark that area is very little in the time of pent, and the display position of form frame and form block diagram target display position are all inequality usually, therefore after the form frame is closed, find that the icon of this form frame is common must to be spent one and just find after turning over the time.If this form block diagram mark is covered by another form frame unfortunately or not in the viewing area of monitor screen, then find out this form block diagram mark and must spend the more time and just look for.
The 3rd, for contained program icon in the form frame, the described situation of first problem also can take place.In some cases, because too many program icon is arranged, therefore have only the program icon of part can be displayed among the form frame.This moment, window interface can provide one or two scroll bars to be used in the scrolling form frame shown program icon so that the user can see the program icon that other are not shown.Coming scrolling form frame with scroll bar also is that unusual inconvenience and efficient is not high with the way of seeking a program icon.Three above problems can often be run into when using window interface, if these problems can be solved, the efficient of then controlling window interface will significantly be promoted.
