Abstract
An information processing apparatus accepts, on a print setting screen provided by a first application, an instruction that a browser displays information. If a second application that has issued a print instruction to a printer driver is determined to be a default browser of an operating system, a built-in browser of the first application displays information, and if the second application is determined to be not the default browser, the default browser displays the information.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus having first and second applications installed,
- wherein the first application provides a first print setting dialog based on a user operating a second print setting dialog opened by the second application, and
- wherein the first print setting dialog is a modal dialog set to be displayed in front of a screen to be opened by the second application,
- the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to:
- receive a user selection on a predetermined item in the first print setting dialog provided by the first application;
- cause a display unit to display a screen based on receiving the user selection, the screen being a screen for receiving an instruction for determining a third application to be used for displaying information corresponding to the predetermined item;
- and
- cause the display unit to display the information by using the determined third application.
A control method of an information processing apparatus having first and second applications installed, wherein the first application provides a first print setting dialog based on a user operating a second print setting dialog opened by the second application, and wherein the first print setting dialog is a modal dialog set to be displayed in front of a screen to be opened by the second application, the method comprising:
- receiving a user selection on a predetermined item in the first print setting dialog provided by the first application,
- displaying a screen based on receiving the user selection, the screen being a screen for receiving an instruction for determining a third application to be used for displaying information corresponding to the predetermined item,
- displaying the information by using the determined third application.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a first application installed,
- wherein the first application comprising codes for:
- causing a display unit to display a first print setting dialog based on a user operating a second print setting dialog opened by a second application, wherein the first print setting dialog is a modal dialog set to be displayed in front of a screen to be opened by the second application;
- and
- causing the display unit to display, based on a user selecting a predetermined item, a screen for allowing a user to determine a third application to be used for displaying information corresponding to the predetermined item,
- wherein the information is displayed using the determined third application.
