INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To control, according to the configuration used by the user, display or non-display of windows to be concurrently used. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] An information processing apparatus, when the apparatus specifies an executable application (S1) and is instructed to display a certain window (concerned window), acquires a related information list of an application for displaying the concerned window (concerned application) (S3). The related information list describes information for specifying an application having a relation with the concerned application. The information processing apparatus determines whether the application described in the related information list is included in the executable application or not (S4) and, if included, displays a window (concurrently displayed window) of the application described in the related information list together with the concerned window (S6). If receiving an instruction to hide the concerned window, the information processing apparatus hides the concerned window and the concurrently displayed window (S8).
