ABSTRACT:
A user interface system is used for accessing and performing window management operations. A control window containing icons linked to product windows. Each icon in the control window is also capable of projecting a miniature window dynamically linked in terms of content and parameters to the actual information represented by the icon. Window management operations, such as moving, sizing, restoring, and closing, performed on either the iconic or miniature window representations in the control window are transmitted directly to the contents of the represented windows and implemented, whether these windows are opened or closed at the time that the operations are performed.
