Abstract
An attribute storing unit stores a type attribute indicating a type of a selection component for defining how a selection component having a plurality of options is to be displayed and a display attribute indicating a display status of an operation component representing each of the options. A display attribute modifying unit modifies a value of the display attribute according to an operation from a user. When the display attribute of any of the options is changed, a type attribute modifying unit modifies the type attribute of the selection component having the option to a value according to number of the options whose display attributes are set to be displayed.
Claims18
An apparatus for editing an operation screen to be displayed on a display unit, the apparatus comprising:
- an attribute storing unit that stores therein a type attribute indicating a type of a selection component for defining how the selection component having a plurality of options is to be displayed on the operation screen and a display attribute indicating a show/hide status of an operation component representing each of the options;
- a display attribute modifying unit that modifies a value of the display attribute stored in the attribute storing unit according to an operation from a user;
- and
- a type attribute modifying unit that modifies, when a value of the display attribute of any of the options is changed, the type attribute of the selection component having the options to an appropriate value depending on a number of the options whose display attributes are set to the show status.
A method of editing an operation screen to be displayed on a display unit, the method comprising:
- storing a type attribute indicating a type of a selection component for defining how the selection component having a plurality of options is to be displayed on the operation screen and a display attribute indicating a show/hide status of an operation component representing each of the options;
- display attribute modifying including modifying a value of the display attribute according to an operation from a user;
- and
- type attribute modifying including modifying, when a value of the display attribute of any of the options is changed, the type attribute of the selection component having the option to an appropriate value depending on number of the options whose display attributes are set to the show status.
A computer program product comprising a computer-usable medium having computer-readable program codes embodied in the medium that when executed cause a computer to execute:
- storing a type attribute indicating a type of a selection component for defining how the selection component having a plurality of options is to be displayed on the operation screen and a display attribute indicating a show/hide status of an operation component representing each of the options;
- display attribute modifying including modifying a value of the display attribute according to an operation from a user;
- and
- type attribute modifying including modifying, when a value of the display attribute of any of the options is changed, the type attribute of the selection component having the option to an appropriate value depending on number of the options whose display attributes are set to the show status.
