Description

Window switching method, device and equipment for computer desktop and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for switching windows of a computer desktop, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Background

In the process of using a computer, a user usually opens a plurality of windows and switches among the plurality of opened windows according to the window which needs to be operated currently, so that the window which needs to be operated currently is switched to an active window. The existing window switching methods generally include the following two methods:

the first method is to click the window which needs to be operated currently by using a mouse, for example, click the minimized window in the task bar by using the mouse, and then click the blocked window by using the mouse, for example, so that the clicked window is switched to the active window.

And in the second mode, the next window behind the active window in the window queue is switched to the active window by using a preset double key in the keyboard.

The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to fig. 1-6.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a window switching method for a computer desktop according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 1, the method of the present embodiment is generally performed by an application program that can be installed in a computer. The method mainly comprises the following steps: step S100, step S110, step S120, and step S130. The steps included in the method of the embodiment of the present application are described below.

S100, when the window switching control in the task bar of the computer operating system receives the mouse information, judging whether the mouse information is the preset mouse click information.

In one alternative example, the window switching control of the present application is located in a computer operating system (e.g., windows operating system) taskbar and is typically located in the middle, far right region of the computer operating system taskbar. The height of the window switching control can be the same as that of a task bar of a computer operating system, and the length of the window switching control can be several times of the height, so that a user can conveniently click the window switching control. The background color of the window switching control can be similar to or the same as the color of the task bar of the computer operating system, so that the integral sense of the task bar of the computer operating system can not be damaged. In addition, the window switching control can display contents such as patterns or characters and the like so as to help a user to know the function of the control more intuitively. The application does not limit the concrete expression form of the window switching control.

In an alternative example, the window switching control of the present application is set in the taskbar of the operating system of the computer during the startup process of the computer, for example, an application program of the present application may be run during the startup process of the computer, and the running application program sets the window switching control in the taskbar of the operating system of the computer. In addition, the application program of the present application may also be executed according to a trigger operation (such as double-clicking an icon of the application program) of a user after the computer is successfully started, so as to set a window switching control in a task bar of an operating system of the computer. The application does not limit the specific implementation manner of setting the window switching control in the taskbar of the computer operating system.

In an alternative example, the mouse in the present application may include a device that controls the position of a cursor on a computer screen by moving, and enables double click of left and right mouse buttons, for example, a touch pad or a joystick, etc. may be considered as a mouse. When a user clicks or points at a window switching control in a task bar of a computer operating system through a mouse, the window switching control receives corresponding mouse information; for example, when the user points at the window switching control (i.e. controls the cursor to stay on the window switching control) with the mouse, the window switching control receives mouse position information (which may also be referred to as cursor position/coordinate information); for another example, when the user points at the window switching control with the mouse and clicks/double-clicks a left button/right button/wheel of the mouse, the window switching control receives the mouse position information and corresponding click information.

In an optional example, the predetermined mouse click information in the present application is generally left mouse click information, that is, when a user clicks a window switching control in a taskbar with a left mouse click, it is determined that the mouse information is the predetermined mouse click information.

In an optional example, the predetermined mouse click information in the application can allow a user to set the predetermined mouse click information by himself, that is, the application program in the application can provide the user with a function of setting the predetermined mouse click information, so that the user can modify the mouse left click information set by default in the application into mouse right click information or roller click information and the like according to the use habit of the user.

S110, when the mouse information is determined to be the preset mouse click information, triggering a computer operating system to switch a keyboard event of the current Active Window or calling a system interface of the computer operating system to switch the current Active Window so as to switch the current Active Window (Active Window).

In an optional example, in the case that it is determined that the user clicks the window switching control in the taskbar by using the left mouse button, the application may trigger a keyboard event that is used by the computer operating system to switch the current active window, and may also call a system interface that is used by the computer operating system to switch the current active window.

In an alternative example, in a case that the computer operating system in the present application is a Windows operating system, the keyboard event for switching the currently active window may specifically be a keyboard event with a key value of ALT plus ESC, and the keyboard event may cause the computer operating system to perform a currently active window switching operation, for example, the computer operating system may set a next window after the currently active window in a window queue as the currently active window according to the window queue formed by all currently open Windows (the window queue does not include a computer desktop), so as to implement switching of the currently active window.

In an alternative example, where the computer operating system in the present application is the Windows operating system, the system interface for switching the currently active window may be the system interface provided by the computer operating system that has the same effect as the keyboard events keyed by ALT plus ESC. The calling operation of the system interface can enable the computer operating system to execute the current active window switching operation, for example, the computer operating system can set the next window behind the current active window in the window queue as the current active window according to the window queue formed by all the currently opened windows, thereby realizing the switching of the current active window.

In an alternative example, after the computer operating system performs a window switching operation, the switched currently active window may be displayed in the form of a maximized window, a minimized window, or a restored window. Depending on the form in which the currently active window is displayed before the computer operating system performs a window switch, e.g., a first window that has been minimized by the user in the taskbar before it is switched to the currently active window, is still displayed in the form of a minimized window when it is switched to the currently active window.

And S120, acquiring a handle of the current active window.

In an alternative example, the application may obtain the handle of the current active window (e.g., the ID of the current active window) based on information returned by the computer operating system by sending a request to the computer operating system to obtain the handle of the current active window. The handle of the currently active window requested to be obtained may be generally used to obtain window attribute information such as the display state of the currently active window, for example, a corresponding request is sent to the computer operating system according to the handle of the currently active window to obtain the display state information of the currently active window.

S130, calling an interface command of a computer operating system for enabling a current active window to be displayed in a window state of switching the last visual display according to a handle of the current active window, and enabling the current active window to be displayed visually; or triggering an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restored window state according to the handle of the current active window, and displaying the current active window in the restored window form; or triggering an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state according to the handle of the current active window, so that the current active window is displayed in the form of the maximized window.

In an optional example, the interface command for displaying the current active window in the window state of the last visual display before switching may be specifically a Restore command, and the application may use the Restore command to display the current active window in the window state of the last visual display after obtaining the handle of the current active window. The visually displayed window state may generally be a maximized window state or a restored window state.

In addition, after the handle of the current active window is obtained, a Restore command can be directly called according to the handle; the method and the device for displaying the current active window can also request a computer operating system to acquire the display state information of the current active window according to the acquired handle after acquiring the handle of the current active window, judge the acquired display state information of the current active window, and call a Restore command based on the acquired handle under the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is displayed in a minimized window form, so that the current active window is displayed in a window state which is displayed in a most recent visual mode, and can not call the Restore command under the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is not displayed in the minimized window form.

One specific example of visually displaying a currently active window based on a Restore command: before the first window is switched to the current active window, the first window is displayed in the form of the maximized window, and then the first window can still be displayed in the form of the maximized window after being switched to the current active window by calling a Restore command.

Another specific example of visually displaying a currently active window based on a Restore command: before the first window is switched to the current active window, the first window is displayed in the form of the Restore window, and then the Restore command is called, so that the first window can still be displayed in the form of the Restore window after being switched to the current active window.

Yet another specific example of visually displaying a currently active window based on a Restore command: if the user minimizes the first window displayed in the form of the maximized window into the task bar of the computer operating system before the first window is switched to the current active window, the application can cause the first window to be displayed in the form of the maximized window after being switched to the current active window by calling the Restore command. Before the first window is switched to be the current active window, if the user minimizes the first window displayed in the form of the Restore window into a task bar of the computer operating system, the method and the device can enable the first window to be displayed in the form of the Restore window after the first window is switched to be the current active window by calling a Restore command.

In one optional example, the application may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restore window state according to the handle of the currently active window, so that the currently active window is displayed in the form of the restore window by using the event. That is, regardless of whether the state of the first window is the minimized window, the maximized window, or the restored window before being switched to the currently active window, the present application may cause the first window to be displayed in the restored window after being switched to the currently active window.

In addition, after the handle of the current active window is obtained, the event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restored window state can be directly triggered according to the handle; according to the method and the device, after a handle of a current active window is obtained, first, display state information of the current active window is requested to a computer operating system to be obtained according to the handle, the obtained display state information of the current active window is judged, and when the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is displayed in a minimized window form is judged, an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in a restored window state is triggered based on the handle, so that the current active window is displayed in the restored window form, and when the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is not displayed in the minimized window form is judged, the event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restored window state can not be triggered.

In one alternative example, the application may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying a window in the maximized window state based on the handle of the currently active window, such that the currently active window is displayed in the maximized window form using the event. That is, whether the state of the first window is the minimized window, the maximized window, or the restored window before the first window is switched to the currently active window, the present application may cause the first window to be displayed in the maximized window after being switched to the currently active window.

In addition, after the handle of the current active window is obtained, the event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state can be triggered directly according to the handle; according to the method and the device, after a handle of a current active window is obtained, first, the display state information of the current active window is requested to be obtained from a computer operating system according to the handle, the obtained display state information of the current active window is judged, and under the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is displayed in a minimized window form, an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in a maximized window state is triggered based on the handle, so that the current active window is displayed in the maximized window form, and under the condition that the window display state information shows that the current active window is not displayed in the minimized window form, the event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state can not be triggered.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 of the present application, when the window switching control located in the taskbar of the computer operating system receives mouse information and determines that the received mouse information is another predetermined mouse click information (e.g., default mouse left button double click information, etc.), an event of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop (e.g., a keyboard event for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, etc.) is triggered, or a system interface of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop is called, so that the computer operating system performs a corresponding operation, thereby hiding all windows opened by the user to display the computer desktop, or hiding the computer desktop, and displaying one or more windows opened by the user and displayed in a visual state. The application does not limit the concrete representation form of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the events of the computer desktop and the system interface.

In an optional example, the predetermined mouse click information for displaying/hiding the computer desktop in the application may allow the user to set the predetermined mouse click information for displaying/hiding the computer desktop by himself, that is, the application of the application may provide the user with a function of setting the predetermined mouse click information for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, so that the user may modify the mouse left button double click information set by default in the application into mouse right button double click information or scroll wheel double click information, etc. according to the usage habit of the user. The specific representation form of the preset mouse click information corresponding to the display/hiding computer desktop is not limited by the application.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a window switching method for a computer desktop according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 2, the method of the present embodiment is generally performed by an application program that can be installed in a computer. The method mainly comprises the following steps: step S200 and step S210. The steps included in the method of the embodiment of the present application will be described separately below.

S200, when the window switching control in the task bar of the computer operating system receives the mouse information, judging whether the mouse information is the preset mouse click information. The specific content of this step can be referred to the description in step S100 in fig. 1, and the description is not repeated here.

S210, when the mouse information is determined to be the preset mouse click information, triggering a keyboard event with a key value of WIN plus TAB or a keyboard event with a key value of ALT plus TAB of the computer operating system to switch the current active window.

In an alternative example, a keyboard event keyed by WIN plus TAB or a keyboard event keyed by ALT plus TAB in the present application may cause the computer operating system to perform the current active window switching operation.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the computer desktop may also be used as a window by the computer operating system, so that the current active window after switching in the present application may be the computer desktop. However, although the current active window after switching may be a computer desktop, the embodiment may still trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop (e.g., a keyboard event for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, etc.) or call a system interface of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, so that the computer operating system performs a corresponding operation, thereby hiding all windows opened by the user to display the computer desktop, or hiding the computer desktop, displaying one or more windows opened by the user in a visual state, when the window switching control located in the taskbar of the computer operating system receives mouse information and determines that the received mouse information is another predetermined mouse click information (e.g., default mouse left button double click information, etc.). The application does not limit the concrete representation form of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the events of the computer desktop and the system interface.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a window switching method for a computer desktop according to another embodiment of the present application. In fig. 3, the method of the present embodiment is generally executed by an application program that can be installed in a computer. The method mainly comprises the following steps: step S300 and step S310. The steps included in the method of the embodiment of the present application are described below.

S300, when the window switching control in the task bar of the computer operating system receives the mouse information, judging whether the mouse information is the preset mouse clicking information. The specific content of this step can be referred to the description in step S100 in fig. 1, and the description is not repeated here.

And S310, when the mouse information is determined to be the preset mouse click information, calling a system interface corresponding to a keyboard event with a key value of WIN plus TAB or a keyboard event with a key value of ALT plus TAB of the computer operating system to switch the current active window.

In an alternative example, the system interface corresponding to the keyboard event with the key value WIN plus TAB or the keyboard event with the key value ALT plus TAB in the present application may cause the computer operating system to execute the current active window switching operation.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the computer desktop may also be used as a window by the computer operating system, so that the current active window after switching in the present application may be the computer desktop. However, although the current active window after switching may be the computer desktop, the embodiment may still trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop (e.g., a keyboard event for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, etc.) or call a system interface of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop when the window switching control located in the taskbar of the computer operating system receives mouse information and determines that the received mouse information is another predetermined mouse click information (e.g., default mouse left button double click information, etc.), so that the computer operating system performs a corresponding operation, thereby hiding all windows opened by the user to display the computer desktop, or hiding the computer desktop to display one or more windows opened by the user and displayed in a visual state. The application does not limit the concrete representation forms of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the events of the computer desktop and the system interface.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a window switching device of a computer desktop according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 4, the apparatus of the present embodiment includes: the click judging module 400, the first switching module 410, the handle acquiring module 420 and the display control module 430. The modules included in the apparatus according to the embodiment of the present application are described below.

The click determining module 400 is mainly used for determining whether the mouse information is predetermined mouse click information when the mouse information is received by the window switching control located in the task bar of the computer operating system.

The window switching control of the present application can refer to the description in step S100 described above with respect to fig. 1, and is not described in detail here. The predetermined mouse click information in the present application may generally be mouse left-click information, that is, when a user clicks a window switching control in a taskbar by using a left mouse button, the click determination module 400 determines that the mouse information is the predetermined mouse click information. The click judgment module 400 may allow the user to set the predetermined mouse click information by himself, that is, the click judgment module 400 provides the user with a function of setting the predetermined mouse click information, so that the user may modify the mouse left-click information set by default in the present application into the mouse right-click information or the roller click information, etc., according to the usage habit of the user.

The first switching module 410 is mainly configured to trigger the computer operating system to switch the keyboard event of the current active window or call the computer operating system to switch the system interface of the current active window to switch the current active window when the click determining module 400 determines that the mouse information is the predetermined mouse click information.

In an alternative example, in a case that the click determining module 400 determines that the user clicks the window switching control in the taskbar by using a left mouse button, the first switching module 410 may trigger a keyboard event used by the computer operating system for switching the currently active window, and the first switching module 410 may also call the computer operating system for switching a system interface of the currently active window.

In an alternative example, in the case that the computer operating system in the present application is a Windows operating system, the keyboard event triggered by the first switching module 410 for switching the current active window may be specifically a keyboard event with a key value of ALT plus ESC. The system interface invoked by the first switch module 410 for switching the currently active window may be a system interface provided by the computer operating system that has the same effect as the keyboard event keyed by ALT plus ESC.

In an alternative example, after the first switching module 410 triggers the computer operating system to perform a window switching operation, the switched currently active window may be displayed in the form of a maximized window, a minimized window, or a restored window. Depending on the form in which the currently active window is displayed before the computer operating system performs a window switch, e.g., a first window that has been minimized by the user in the taskbar before it is switched to the currently active window, is still displayed in the form of a minimized window when it is switched to the currently active window.

The get handle module 420 is mainly used to get the handle of the current active window.

In an alternative example, the get handle module 420 may obtain the handle of the currently active window based on information returned by the computer operating system by sending a request to the computer operating system to obtain the handle of the currently active window. The handle obtaining module 420 may further obtain window attribute information such as the display state of the current active window based on the handle of the current active window that is requested to be obtained by the handle obtaining module 420, for example, the handle obtaining module 420 sends a corresponding request to the computer operating system according to the handle of the current active window to obtain the display state information of the current active window.

The display control module 430 may be configured to invoke, according to the handle of the currently active window, an interface command of the computer operating system for displaying the currently active window in a window state of switching to the last visual display, so as to visually display the currently active window. The display control module 430 may also be configured to trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restore window state according to the handle of the currently active window, so that the currently active window is displayed in the form of the restore window. The display control module 430 may be further configured to trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state based on the handle of the currently active window, such that the currently active window is displayed in the maximized window form.

In an alternative example, the interface command used by the display control module 430 to display the currently active window in the window state of the last visualization before switching may be a Restore command, that is, the display control module 430 may display the currently active window in the window state of the last visualization by using the Restore command after the handle module 420 obtains the handle of the currently active window. The visually displayed window state may generally be a maximized window state or a restored window state.

In addition, after the handle obtaining module 420 obtains the handle of the current active window, the display control module 430 may directly call a Restore command according to the handle; the display control module 430 may also request the computer operating system to acquire the display state information of the current active window according to the acquired handle after acquiring the handle of the current active window, and determine the acquired display state information of the current active window, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is displayed in the form of a minimized window, the display control module 430 calls a Restore command based on the handle acquired by the acquire handle module 420, so that the current active window is displayed in the last visually displayed window state, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is not displayed in the form of a minimized window, the display control module 430 may not call the Restore command.

The display control module 430 makes three specific examples of the current active window visually displayed based on the Restore command, please refer to the above-mentioned related description in step S130 of fig. 1, and will not be described in detail here.

In one optional example, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying a window in the restore window state based on the handle of the currently active window, thereby causing the currently active window to be displayed in the form of the restore window using the event. That is, whether the first window is displayed in the form of a minimized window, a maximized window, or a restored window before being switched to the current active window, the display control module 430 may cause the first window to be displayed in the form of a restored window after being switched to the current active window.

In addition, after the get handle module 420 gets the handle of the currently active window, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the restored window state directly according to the handle; the display control module 430 may also request the computer operating system to acquire the display state information of the current active window according to the handle after the handle module 420 acquires the handle of the current active window, and determine the acquired display state information of the current active window, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is displayed in the form of the minimized window, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the form of the restored window state based on the handle, so that the current active window is displayed in the form of the restored window, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is not displayed in the form of the minimized window, the display control module 430 may no longer trigger the event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the state of the restored window.

In one optional example, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying a window in the maximized window state based on the handle of the currently active window, thereby causing the currently active window to be displayed in the maximized window form using the event. That is, whether the first window is displayed in the form of a minimized window, a maximized window, or a restored window before being switched to the currently active window, the display control module 430 may cause the first window to be displayed in the form of a maximized window after being switched to the currently active window.

In addition, after the get handle module 420 gets the handle of the currently active window, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state directly according to the handle; after the handle module 420 obtains the handle of the current active window, the display control module 430 may request the computer operating system to obtain the display state information of the current active window according to the handle, and determine the obtained display state information of the current active window, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is displayed in the form of a minimized window, the display control module 430 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the form of a maximized window state based on the handle, so that the current active window is displayed in the form of a maximized window, and when it is determined that the window display state information indicates that the current active window is not displayed in the form of a minimized window, the display control module 430 may no longer trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying the window in the maximized window state.

In addition, when the click determining module 400 determines that the mouse information received by the window switching control located in the taskbar of the computer operating system is another predetermined mouse click information (e.g., default mouse left button double click information, etc.), the first switching module 410 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop (e.g., a keyboard event for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, etc.), or the first switching module 410 calls a system interface of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, so that the computer operating system performs a corresponding operation, thereby hiding all windows opened by the user to display the computer desktop, or hiding the computer desktop, displaying one or more windows opened by the user in a visual state. The application does not limit the concrete representation form of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the events of the computer desktop and the system interface.

In an alternative example, the click judgment module 400 may allow the user to set the predetermined mouse click information for displaying/hiding the computer desktop by himself, that is, the click judgment module 400 may provide the user with a function of setting the predetermined mouse click information for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, so that the user may modify the mouse left double click information set by default in the present application into mouse right double click information or scroll wheel double click information, etc. according to the usage habit of the user. The specific representation form of the preset mouse click information corresponding to the display/hiding computer desktop is not limited by the application.

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a window switching device of a computer desktop according to an embodiment of the present application.

The second switching module 500 may be configured to trigger a keyboard event with a key value WIN plus TAB or a keyboard event with a key value ALT plus TAB of the computer operating system when the click determining module 400 determines that the mouse information is the predetermined mouse click information.

The second switching module 500 may also be configured to, when the click determining module 400 determines that the mouse information is the predetermined mouse click information, invoke a system interface corresponding to a keyboard event with a key value of WIN plus TAB or a keyboard event with a key value of ALT plus TAB of the computer operating system to switch the current active window.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the computer desktop can also be used as a window by the computer operating system, so that the currently active window may be the computer desktop after the second switching module 500 performs the corresponding operation. However, although the switched currently active window may be a computer desktop, the second switching module 500 may trigger an event of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop (e.g., a keyboard event for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, etc.) when the click determining module 400 determines that the received mouse information is another predetermined mouse click information (e.g., a default mouse left button double click information, etc.), or the second switching module 500 calls a system interface of the computer operating system for displaying/hiding the computer desktop, so that the computer operating system performs a corresponding operation, thereby hiding all windows opened by the user to display the computer desktop, or hiding the computer desktop to display one or more windows opened by the user and displayed in a visual state. The present application does not limit the specific representation of the events and system interfaces used by the second switching module 500 for displaying/hiding the computer desktop.
