Claims15
A method of controlling a graphical user interface (GUI) having a plurality of GUI elements based on input from a single input GUI control element within a parent window, the method comprising:
- providing a view tree containing nodes corresponding to a view, the view including one or more of the plurality of GUI elements within the parent window, and the view tree being stored in memory;
- obtaining selectable items from a common column of a data table accessed by each of the one or more of the plurality of GUI elements and a single input GUI control element, the single input GUI control element being activated by a new selection of one or more of the selectable items in the single input GUI control element;
- and
- in response to the new selection of one or more of the selectable items in the single input GUI control element, traversing the view tree;
- updating, for each enabled node of one or more enabled nodes, one or more of the displayed GUI elements associated with the enabled node by changing their respective original values to different values based on updated data obtained from a remote data source corresponding to the selection in the single input GUI control element of one or more of the selectable items, the updated data being obtained from the remote data source by performing operations including:
- transmitting a filter value to a remote query processor, the filter value representing the selection in the single input GUI control element, and the remote query processor being remote from the GUI, and
- receiving the updated data from the remote query processor, the remote query processor providing the updated data by filtering the remote data source based on the filter value representing the selection in the single input GUI control element of one or more of the selectable items and determining the updated data based on a result of the filtering;
- and
- causing the updated GUI elements to be displayed with the different values in the parent window for interaction with a user, wherein the updated GUI elements are displayed in the parent window from at least just before the updating to at least just after the causing.
