ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for automatically generating a graphical user interface control program. Part definition information is read which defines display parts of a user interface such as a main window, a button switch, a sub-window and a dialog box, size and position information of the parts, and information defining relevancy of the parts. The part definition information, position information and relevancy information are recognized from the read information. A relational structure between the part structure and the parts is analyzed based on the recognized part definition information, position information and the relevancy information. A procedure for constructing a graphical user interface control program is generated based on the part definition information, the position information, the relevancy information and the relational structure between the part structure and the parts resulting from the analysis.
