摘要： A method and system for refining the function performed by a drag operation during the drag operation. After a drag operation begins, a “Drag Toolbar” appears with controls that change the current function of the drag operation when the cursor is moved over a selected control. In the preferred embodiment, the controls are mutually exclusive “radio buttons”. However, the controls may be cumulative “check boxes”, or incrementing/decrementing, or allow navigation, or otherwise permit object manipulation. The Drag Toolbar may be fixed in place or be a floating palette, may be of various shapes and forms. Selection of a control from the Drag Toolbar may be indicated in any of various manners. The depiction of the cursor may be changed as controls are selected during the drag operation to further indicate which control has been selected. In another embodiment, the Drag Toolbar may be floating and have a “follow me” characteristic, where the Drag Toolbar moves so as to always be within a certain distance from the cursor. The invention provides an unambiguous way for a user to change the drag functionality of a cursor during a drag operation. Thus, a user need not memorize different keyboard modifier combinations. Further, the graphical user interface is not cluttered, since the Drag Toolbar only appears when a drag operation is initiated. The invention can be used for other applications as well, such as drawing mode changes.
摘要翻译： 一种用于在拖动操作期间通过拖动操作来完成功能的方法和系统。 拖动操作开始后，当拖动光标移动到所选控件上时，会出现一个“拖动工具栏”，其中带有更改拖动操作的当前功能的控件。 在优选实施例中，控制是相互排斥的“单选按钮”。 然而，控件可以是累积的“复选框”，或递增/递减，或允许导航，或以其他方式允许对象操纵。 拖动工具栏可能会固定到位，或者是浮动调色板，可能有各种形状和形式。 拖动工具栏中的控件的选择可以以各种方式进行指示。 可以在拖动操作期间选择控件以进一步指示已经选择了哪个控件时，可以改变游标的描绘。 在另一个实施例中，拖动工具栏可以是浮动的并且具有“跟随我”特征，其中拖动工具栏移动以便始终与光标在一定距离内。 本发明为用户在拖动操作期间改变光标的拖动功能提供了明确的方式。 因此，用户不需要记住不同的键盘修改器组合。 此外，图形用户界面不会混乱，因为拖动工具栏仅在启动拖动操作时显示。 本发明也可以用于其他应用，例如绘图模式改变。

摘要： The present invention provides a method for a developer to create and display a “dialog definition”, i.e., a description of the dialog that has the position and size of its constituent elements expressed in relative layout rules. These layout rules include expressions of alignment and/or justification of the elements within a container, rather than expressions of the coordinate positions of the elements. In addition, a set of text strings is provided for each language in a separate language file. The user may identify an operating system and a language in which the dialog will be displayed, and the size of the elements in the identified operating system and language will be determined by the computer. The description is interpreted in the computer to lay out the dialog.

摘要： A graphical user interface (GUI) for use in a graphical display on a computer monitor includes a cursor that allows a user to point to an area of interest in the graphical display. The GUI also includes an information element that provides a first level of information in the graphical display when the user first points to the area of interest and then provides a subsequent level of information in the graphical display if the user continues to point to the area of interest or presses a selected keystroke.
