20080270919 | Context Based Software Layer - A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for establishing and utilizing a widget-centric context-based layer are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes a computer detecting a mouse hover over a visual control that is displayed on a visual layer canvas. In response to determining that the visual control is supported by a context layer, the computer displays the visual control and component icons on a context layer canvas, wherein the context layer includes elements from both an upper visual layer and a lower component layer, and wherein the component icons are associated with respective components from the lower component layer. The computer then receives a user input that selects one or more of the component icons, thus permitting associated components to be edited. | 10-30-2008 |
20120072444 | DETECTION AND DISPLAY OF VOLATILE DATA - A method, system and computer program product for detecting and displaying potentially volatile data. A metadata store, which is attached to a data store, is used for storing metadata corresponding to the stored data. A data retrieval component is used for retrieving a first and a second subset of data from the data store. Furthermore, a metadata retrieval component is used for retrieving a first and a second subset of the metadata corresponding to the first and second subsets of data from the data store. In addition, a comparator is used for comparing the first and the second subsets of the metadata. Additionally, a display control component, responsive to the comparator, is used for varying an indicator associated on a display with the first subset of data or the second subset of data to indicate an inconsistency between the first subset of metadata and the second subset of metadata. | 03-22-2012 |
20120311468 | DYNAMIC INTERFACE COMPONENT CONTROL SUPPORT - A system, computer program and method for developing a graphical user interface (GUI) in a computer program. The invention allows developers to control the properties of interface components according to the state of a program during execution. According to the invention, a GUI development environment may be configured to provide a GUI builder for creating the GUI, display an interface component with at least one interface component property to be instantiated in the GUI, display a property interface to input at least one value for the interface component property in response to an event detectable by the computer program during GUI program execution, and automatically generate GUI program code effectuating the value for the interface component property in response to the event detectable by the computer program during GUI program execution. | 12-06-2012 |
20130047136 | Automatic Selection of Lowest Configuration Feature Level by Functionality Exploited - Methods and systems of generating product configuration files may involve receiving an identification of a set of features for a software product via a file editor interface. The lowest version of the software product that supports the set of features may be determined, wherein a configuration file can be generated based on the lowest version. In one example, the configuration file identifies the set of features and includes the lowest version as an attribute of the configuration file. | 02-21-2013 |
20130047139 | Automatic Selection of Lowest Configuration Feature Level by Functionality Exploited - Methods and systems of generating product configuration files may involve receiving an identification of a set of features for a software product via a file editor interface. The lowest version of the software product that supports the set of features may be determined, wherein a configuration file can be generated based on the lowest version. In one example, the configuration file identifies the set of features and includes the lowest version as an attribute of the configuration file. | 02-21-2013 |
20130117711 | RESIZE HANDLE ACTIVATION FOR RESIZABLE PORTIONS OF A USER INTERFACE - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for resize handle display management in a graphical user interface (GUI). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for resize handle display management in a GUI is provided. The method includes receiving a directive to display a resize handle for each resizable GUI control in a window, such as by way of a keyboard shortcut. The method additionally includes determining each resizable GUI control in the window, including any separators that separate two resizable regions of a window. Finally, the method includes displaying the window with at least one resize handle for each determined resizable GUI control in the window. | 05-09-2013 |
20140040799 | EFFICIENT USAGE OF SCREEN REAL ESTATE ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - Exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method and computer program product for efficient usage of screen real estate, and an electronic device configured to execute the computer program product, by controlling the display of GUI objects on a display screen of an electronic device. This controlled display further comprises identifying a user-selected part of an original GUI object that is associated with an application program, in response to detection of a predefined user interaction with the original GUI object. A new representative GUI object is then created and displayed on screen, and this new object comprises a visual representation of the selected part of the first GUI object. This second GUI object automatically replaces the first GUI object on the display screen. Subsequent user interactions with the second GUI object are mapped to instructions to the application program. | 02-06-2014 |
20140068505 | SIZING A PANE OF A WINDOW PRESENTED ON A DISPLAY - Sizing a pane of a window presented on a display. The window is presented to a user on the display. Within the window, the pane is presented at a first pane size. A user input is detected from the user resizing the window. Responsive to detecting the user input resizing the window, a new size of the window resulting from the user input resizing the window is detected. Data is accessed from a machine-readable storage device corresponding to at least one user-defined pane size previously defined by the user to whom the window is presented, wherein the user-defined pane size corresponds to a particular window size. Based on the accessed user-defined pane size(s), a second pane size of the pane at which the pane is to be presented in the newly sized window is determined. The pane is presented in the newly sized window at the second pane size. | 03-06-2014 |
20150100136 | Providing Instructions to a Mainframe System - Method and system are provided for providing instructions to a mainframe system. The method at a client system includes constructing a job control language (JCL) job embedded with an interpreted language program to provide instructions to a mainframe operating system. The method at a mainframe system includes: receiving a job control language (JCL) job embedded with an interpreted language program to provide instructions to a mainframe operating system; copying the interpreted language program to a transient executable area; and executing the interpreted language program. | 04-09-2015 |

20080270981 | DETERMINATIOIN OF A SET OF CANDIDATE CODE INSERTIONS FOR INSERTION IN PROGRAM CODE - A code assistance feature provides a user with a set of suggested program code insertions at a given point in the program code being edited. For example, in response to a user command, the feature identifies syntactically correct possible insertions derived from a search for insertions of a compatible type. The feature identifies members in the set of possible code insertions that can be expanded via a field dereference or subroutine call to provide further possible code insertions for selection by the user. | 10-30-2008 |

20100325612 | Selecting a Set of Candidate Code Expressions from a Section of Program Code for Copying - To facilitate code building, a user can identify an expression to be copied at a position in a source section of program code. Occurrences of the user-selected expression form a set of candidate code expressions. The user-selected expression may include some or all occurrences of a variable within an enclosing scope in the source section, program statements, etc. The formed set of candidate code expressions is presented to the user for user selection of one or more of the expression occurrences within the set. The set occurrences selected by the user are pasted to one or more target locations. | 12-23-2010 |
