Patent number: 7051276Abstract: A View Template allows a template author to create an attractive HTML view template, and flow an arbitrary HTML content document into a series of containers defined in the view template. A content document author creates a standard HTML markup language document that can be displayed in a browser in the bottom-less page model. A view template author designs an HTML view template document that changes how that content document is displayed in the browser or printed. The HTML content document is “flowed” into areas defined by the HTML view template document. The HTML view template document describes where to flow the HTML content document onto the display or printer. There is an object model (OM) that supports the series of containers holding the content document. Each container in the series has a layout that defines the size, location, and ordering for the content document to flow through while in that container. The order of containers that the content document flows through is kept in a view chain.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2000Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Mogilevsky, Carl A. Edlund, Oleg V. Ovetchkine

Publication number: 20060101030Abstract: An improved system and method for editing operations of a text object model is provided. To this end, a text object model and a text editing object model are employed. The text object model may have a data abstraction represented by a sequence of symbols and may provide a formatted text programming interface. The text editing object model may include a text editor for performing editing operations on the data abstraction using the formatted text programming interface. The editing operations may include splitting an element of the data abstraction into two elements, merging two elements of the data abstraction into one element, and copying a text range of the data abstraction, including a subelement within the text range.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Mogilevsky, Evgeny Veselov, Benjamin Westbrook

Publication number: 20060085745Abstract: An improved system and method for displaying a user interface object using an associated style is provided. To this end, an application may include style declarations that may associate a style resource with a user interface object. The style resource may define property values that may be selectively applied to a user interface object, may specify a visual representation for the user interface object, such as a visual subtree, and may specify additional property values to be conditionally applied to a user interface object. A styling engine may be provided for applying a style resource to a user interface object. A visual representation of the user interface objects with the applied property values may be generated and then a display representation may be rendered for presentation on a user interface display.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher Anderson, Jeffrey Bogdan, Namita Gupta, Michael Hillberg, Alex Mogilevsky

Publication number: 20050278727Abstract: Described is a mechanism for providing scoped modular services (SMS) through an API. A common set of services is provided by the API that may be enabled or disabled by each component. The services are managed using a property system in the same manner as element properties are used, such as properties relating to text formatting. This helps to ensure fine control and a high degree of customization for a user interface. The use of the services is not limited to editing in the common sense of the word. The SMS is a mechanism for controlling access to implementation of services contained within a tree of components. Services may also be created by developers that are managed by a service manager along with the common services.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2003Publication date: December 15, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Mogilevsky, Mark Harper, Kevin Gjerstad

Publication number: 20050185920Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for editing an object displayed by a computer system. Editing comprises detecting an edit operation for an object displayed on a video display of a computer system. An edit operation request is then sent to an abstraction layer via an interface provided by the abstraction layer to initiate editing of the object by the abstraction layer. The abstraction layer receives the edit operation request and determines the type of container in which the object is displayed based on properties related to the object to be edited. The abstraction layer reads a set of properties related to the object and the container in which the object is displayed. The abstraction layer may then edit the object based the properties of the container and object by modifying one or more of the properties of the container and object.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2004Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventors: Mark Harper, Alex Mogilevsky, Benjamin Westbrook

Publication number: 20050022211Abstract: An API and method for processing a user interface event is provided. The user interface event may take place in any environment of a software application, and may result from any type of user or software action. An embodiment also provides a framework for customizing the processing of a user interface event without the need to maintain accountability of computer states. In the method, an application process user interface event is processed using an operating system process. A user interface event is received by the application process by way of a user interface. A software component adapted to process the user interface event is pushed onto a memory stack by the operating system process. The operating system process processes the user interface event using the software component, and pops the software component from the memory stack.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2004Publication date: January 27, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Evgeny Veselov, Alex Mogilevsky, Mikhail Arkhipov, Mark Harper

Patent number: 5588099Abstract: A computer system for automatically resizing a table. A table includes various columns. Each column has a column width and an associated width of the longest data in the column. In a preferred embodiment, the system initially resizes the width of each unwrapped column to the width of its longest data. If the sum of the column widths after resizing is greater than the margin width, then the system proportionally decreases the column width of each column so that the sum of the column width is equal to the margin width. If, however, the sum of the column width is less than the margin width, the system proportionally increases the column width of each wrapped column so that the sum of the column widths is equal to the margin width.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1994Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Mogilevsky, Kornel R.
