Abstract

A displaying method of tool bar for application program is disclosed. When the active window on the desktop has a title bar, determine if the size of the title bar can accommodate the tool bar, if yes, move the tool bar to the position of title bar, otherwise determine if the space outside the active window can accommodate the tool bar, if yes, move the tool bar into that space, and paste the tool bar tightly against the edge of the active window, otherwise shrink the tool bar into an icon, and dispose it into the icon region on the right side of the task bar.

Description

1232407 V. Description of the invention (1) [Technical field of the method of the invention to which the invention belongs] It is a method of combining a prior art with a finger] A method for presenting the toolbar of a toolbar of an application program. In general, most of the windows are side-by-side with one application. And when it is temporarily applied to the task bar, the application form is displayed. Broad, such as one side of a row, or the top window of a desktop, is straightforward. However, it often obscures the message ’, causing the toolbar to be closed, and the need to be exhausted. In other words, windows applications or overlays may not be used in order to prevent them from being obstructed. In addition to the visual mode, it is mostly based on the current input method on the market. The execution tool is also due to the use of other programs in the internal window of the tool. When using it, multiple applications are opened to display, each of which is used to facilitate the minimization of the window. Applying applications on the desktop to restore other windows. It is obvious that the applications that are not required to be fixed on the desktop with tool translation software are not necessary. It will open because it can be the same window type as above. When using a visual program, use the program to the desktop to present the form of the bar, and the fast desktop. In addition, the tool program is displayed on the table, and when the user feels that it is in the state of starting the work, the user wants the window to be operated in addition to the shortcut. The most user-receiving user is a long line and can also be used for applications. «The fixed table is usually used as the upper and upper layers. The display is not necessary for the time being and will be used instead. The toolbar is quite general. Some tools are displayed on Activision, so the commonly used information will use its advantages.

1232407 V. Description of the invention (2) [Summary of the invention] Most applications in the form of toolbars are presented on the desktop in the form of toolbars because of their use: Second, they are convenient for users to use, and because they appear in The top sound of the desktop, which often covers the content of other windows. In view of this, said; a kind =: rendering method that allows the toolbar to be automatically moved to the appropriate position without blocking the window in use, and the toolbar is switched to inactive and the toolbar can be displayed in a translucent manner In order to avoid covering the lower-level window, the method of presenting the toolbar mentioned in the present invention includes: firstly, set a time interval 'and set it according to this time interval = find the window in use or the w displayed on the top of the desktop. (Moving window); judging whether there is a title bar in the active window, c: when the title bar is' deciding whether the size of the title bar is OK: if you still have the results, you can move the toolbar to the position of the title bar. Step: Calculate the maximum spatial distance between the active window and the adjacent window = (step according to the activity distance, select an arbitrary distance from the order), the right of the bottom, left and right task bar Distance of the icon, and the toolbar is closely attached to the event office, and the column is moved to the space. When the column is switched to an inactive window, the edge of the window can be even more. In addition, when the tool causes the toolbar to cover the lower window, the user ’s toolbar is displayed in a semi-transparent manner, which does not prevent the user from seeing the lower window when the toolbar cannot be accommodated or the user temporarily reception of f. In addition, when the program is on the desktop, you can also shrink the toolbar to the application area where the toolbar will be used 1232407 V. Description of the invention (3) Regarding the specific and feasible implementation of the present invention, the following description is given in conjunction with the drawings: Method] "Figure 1" to "Figure 5" are not intended to be the method of presenting the application toolbar of the present invention, and the working examples of the Windows operating system are respectively described as follows: & "Figure 1" shows the toolbar of the application of the present invention,

At regular intervals, the visual fixation of the top-level application on the desktop 30 is automatically searched, which is called the active window 52. When the active window 52 has a title bar 54, perform the following steps: Calculate the length and height of the toolbar 10; The length and height of the title bar 54; when the length and height of the title bar 54 are greater than the length and height of the toolbar 10, move the toolbar to the second half of the title bar 54. In order to avoid the toolbar 1 〇 will cover the active window, the title of 52, you can also set the length of the title bar 54 must be greater than the length of the toolbar 丨 〇 a predetermined value or a predetermined ratio, before moving the toolbar 〇 to the title Position of column 5 4 in the second half.

As shown in "Figure 2", when the active window 52 does not have a title bar 54, the area of the "bar 54" cannot accommodate the toolbar 10, whether there is a spatial distance between the search activity and the adjacent window 56, and the space The area from the top, bottom, left, and right of the active window to the adjacent window 56 ",, block. And perform the following steps: First, calculate the length of the space distance, and select a maximum space distance (or choose a space distance in any order above, below, left and right of the active window); determine whether the length and height of the space distance are greater than When the length and height of the toolbar 1 0, the toolbar

1〇 Move, space distance and close to the active window 52. Figure ^ 3 of column 1 and η3 in column 1 ^: As shown, when judging that the height and length of the spatial distance are large and move i and the column \ degree and height, rotate the toolbar 10 by ninety degrees, and 1 to the spatial distance and Close to the active window 5 2. Now, as in "chu / 1 solid ~ one brother picture", when switching between different working windows ’′ = column 1 () may cover the lower window 55, transparent display’ even tool m. Cover lower window 55 = See the contents of lower window 55 without interfering with the user's reception. ^ # 于 贲, In addition, as shown in the "Figure 5", when there is no activity on the desktop such as 52 or the user will not use the application of the toolbar 丨 〇 for the time being, it will minimize the toolbar 丨 0 Turn it into an icon, and place the icon into 9 可. Figure β in the same area is a flowchart of the rendering method of the toolbar of the application program of the present invention. Please refer to "Figure 6" and explain it as follows: First, set a time interval and time based on this time interval. Search for the activity and the location (step 100), when the size of the title bar of the active window can accommodate the ear bar 'Move the toolbar to the title bar, otherwise perform the following steps (step S 11 0); calculate the activity window and The spatial distance between adjacent windows is moved to the spatial distance, and the toolbar is closely attached to the side tool of the active window (step 12 0). Ί "Figure 7" is a flowchart when the activity window of the present invention has a title bar. Please refer to "Figure 7" and explain as follows: First, calculate the length and height of the toolbar (step 2 0 0 ); Calculate the length of the title bar and ZZ
