ABSTRACT:
Mechanism for displaying a layout of graphic user interface properties in a panel. The data is stored in managed object format (MOF) files and defines how the data to be displayed is interrelated. The generic mechanism defines the layout of interrelated object properties, where the layout of similar panels appear differently based on the type of the object of focus. An object is associated with a defined set of properties that may correspond to properties of other objects, as well. The system isolates information that determines the look and feel of status and property layout displays of a GUI into one file. This file can be quickly edited to change the appearance when needed. The application source code utilizes a class schema and the modifiable file is read in and processed when the application is launched. Further changes require the application to be restarted to read in the modified file.
