PROVIDING SUITABLE MENU POSITION INDICATORS THAT PREDICT MENU PLACEMENT OF MENUS HAVING VARIABLE POSITIONS DEPENDING ON AN AVAILABILITY OF DISPLAY SPACE |
摘要 |
The present invention discloses a solution for using menu position indicators to accurately show where an intelligently placed menu will appear. Positioning of menus can automatically vary in the solution depending upon available screen space and an origin point for the menu. A menu position indicator can include a graphical image capable of indicating a direction of the menu appearance, such as an arrow or triangle. The menu position indicator for a menu can change depending upon a position of an origin point and depending upon available screen space for displaying the associated menu. When a position of a main menu changes, calculations can be performed to determine where a submenu of the main menu will be presented, and the menu position indicator can be adjusted accordingly.
