Tab controller

Abstract

The invention provides a tab controller, which comprises a tab positioning unit and a tab control unit, wherein the tab positioning unit is used for determining the display positions of one or more tabs according to the operation of a user; and the tab control unit is used for determining the state of the tabs according to the operation of the user and the display positions, determined by the tab positioning unit, of the tabs related to the operation of the users. Thus, the switching between multiple software interfaces can be well controlled by using the tab controller. The controller can be conveniently used for switching between multiple document interfaces, multiple web pages, multiple options and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to tab control, in particular to the switching of multi-document windows in CS or BS application software and the switching of each tab container in a window in different development languages ​​and development environments. Background technique [0002] In application software, the tab control is a commonly used control, whether it is the Windows task bar, the tab of the Excel worksheet, or the latest version of the IE window, the tab control has a very common application, which brings great benefits to the user's actual operation. It brings great intuition and convenience. [0003] However, due to the relatively large space occupied by tabs, common tab controls have a common unsolved problem. When the number of windows increases, subsequent tabs cannot be displayed well, nor can they be easily switched. There are three common processing methods: [0004] One is to support horizontal dragging to hide the subsequent tabs. When c...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] One is to support horizontal dragging to hide the subsequent tabs. When clicking the button on the left or right, the tabs will move left and right as a whole; in this way, if there are many tabs opened, you want to find the subsequent pages It is very difficult to tab, especially when it is necessary to switch between the front and back tabs repeatedly, it must be continuously dragged back and forth to achieve it, and the operation is very inconvenient

[0005] The second is to display the hidden menu in the form of a pop-up menu. This method is more convenient than dragging, but to combine the two controls of the tab and the pop-up menu, you need to click the right button or pull down the button to select the tab. Visually It also looks very unintuitive, and many users cannot clearly understand this usage

[0006] The third is to display subsequent tabs in the form of folded lines. Although this method is very convenient to operate, but when there are too many windows, too many tabs will be displayed on the screen, occupying too much unnecessary area

[0007] Through the above analysis, it is found that there is currently a lack of an easy-to-use tab control device
