MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLE SYNCHRONIZED WINDOWS

摘要

A system and method for facilitating user interaction with a software application. An example method includes displaying a first primary window of an application; providing a user option to select a sub-window of the first primary window, resulting in generation of a detached window corresponding to the sub-window in response thereto; leaving a first user interface control in the first primary window in place of the sub-window, wherein the first user interface control provides a first user option to implement a first action pertaining to the detached window; and including a second user interface control in proximity to the detached window, wherein the second user interface control provides a first user option to implement a second action applicable to the detached window and primary window. The user interface controls may be implemented via headers in the primary window and detached window. Data is automatically synchronized between windows.
