ABSTRACT:
A control of a window-based interactive user interface (210) includes at least two overlapping display and control windows (220, 230). When one display and control window (220) is activated, the other display and control window (230) is automatically reduced in size to such an extent that it is represented in its entirety on the interactive user interface (210) without overlapping the display and control window (220). The activation of the display and control window (220) is preferably triggered by an optical cursor (211).
