  • Patent number: 6624831
    Abstract: A system and process for generating a dynamically adjustable toolbar is presented where the icons and labels associated with toolbar buttons are displayed or not displayed in the available toolbar space based on an assigned set of priorities. This system and process generally involves first identifying all the functions or commands that it is desired to include in a toolbar along with their respective button icons and labels. A priority is then assigned to each label associated with a button and each icon associated with a button. Next, the available toolbar space is determined. The button icons and labels are then displayed in the available toolbar space based on their assigned priority, with the icons and labels having the higher assigned priorities being displayed before those having lower priorities.
