ABSTRACT:
The present invention enhances the usability of a pushbutton in a graphical user interface (GUI) by allowing for multi-function pushbuttons where the secondary function can be one of many alternatives. This allows a user to have a straight-forward graphical interface to actuating functions that does not clutter the screen, yet still has the ability to offer many combinations of functions.
