ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for using a generalized windows split bar and tab bar library in a conferencing system handles windows display functions in order to free application programs from having to include such functionality. The split bar library is responsible for positioning a split bar window separating two other display windows. The split bar library includes a feature for automatically preventing the display of a title bar window when its corresponding display window is not concurrently displayed. The tab bar library allows easy access to information tagged by a tab. A special function tab is displayed which can be selected by the user by manipulating an input device. The special function tab allows the insertion of a new tab and a new page of information. Automatic scrolling tabs appear when the number of tabs to be displayed exceeds the amount of space available to display all of the tabs. The scrolling tabs allow access to the non-displayed tabs.
