Personality neutral window management subsystem |
摘要 |
A window management system resident in a computer operating system provides a generic windowing interface for application programs written to operate with various specific graphical user interfaces. The window management system includes a common graphical user interface (GUI) which receives window related application programming interface (API) calls from the application programs, and transforms the various types of API calls native to a particular GUI, into a generic format compatible a personality neutral common windowing format. The personality neutral calls are then be passed from the CGUI to a personality neutral event/window management server which services the calls, and controls the creation, deletion and modification of the various windows on the display. The present invention allows user to "port" application programs written for one GUI, to a computer system operating a different GUI.
