ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface for use in a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes an operating system responsive to one or more system calls. Each system call causes the operating system to process user inputs in a predetermined manner. In this aspect of the invention, the graphical user interface includes means for generating at least one dialog box request in response to a user input provided on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface also includes a plurality of dialogs each constructed and arranged to control display of and interactivity with an associated dialog box opened on the graphical user interface in response to one or more of the dialog box control requests. A dialog box control system of the graphical user interface is responsive to a selected one of a plurality of dialog launch modalities, and is constructed and arranged to close open dialog boxes not having a predetermined relationship with the selected dialog box. The dialog box control system also controls the generation of the system calls to the operating system as well as providing the dialog box control requests generated by the graphical user interface to the plurality of dialogs. This enables the invention to provide an associated degree of display clarity and an extent of system interactivity associated with the selected dialog box modality.
