METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHANGING DISPLAY OF MULTI FIELD CHARACTER STRING AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change the user interface display of a character string by providing a user control for selectively displaying/editing field contents in a multi field character string object having separate fields respectively including different representations of the character string. SOLUTION: When this device is started by a user's pointing device, etc., a selection controlling part 506 generates a drop down box 508 including all three IString objects in the order of baseString, sortString and altString. Then, three character strings are shown as a list with sequences in the box 508. When a user clicks a desired entry in the drop down box 508, it is highlighted by a bar 510. Thus, it is possible to select display in a different field.
