Abstract

See full text

A system and method for automatically repositioning and/or resizing scroll bars and other control constructs within a computer window environment. The system monitors the control constructs corresponding to open windows on the display device in order to determine if any of the control constructs are at least partially obstructed or not controllable. This monitoring may occur during each refresh of the display device. If any of the control constructs are not visible or controllable, the system automatically repositions and/or resizes the control construct so that it is visible and/or may be controlled by an operator.
