  • Publication number: 20230409183
    Abstract: A method including receiving a command to display a modal dialog. The modal dialog is displayed using both first and second scrolling frames. The first scrolling frame permits scrolling when a modal dialog height exceeds a first scrolling frame constraint. The second scrolling frame permits scrolling of a content section when a content section height exceeds a second scrolling frame constraint. The first scrolling frame constraint has a first and second priorities. The second scrolling frame constraint has a third priority. An orientation of the display screen is determined as being either in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation. Responsive to determining the physical orientation, an applicable priority that is applicable to the first scrolling frame constraint is assigned. The applicable priority is the first priority in the portrait orientation, and is the second priority in the landscape orientation. After assigning the applicable priority, the modal dialog is displayed.

  • Patent number: 6252514
    Abstract: An assembly that engages a component to a computer system includes a cover adapted to retain the component and to be inserted within a chassis of the computer system. A slide movably coupled to the cover has a proximal position associated with inserting the cover into the chassis and a distal position associated with withdrawing the cover from the chassis. A detector coupled to a lock and to the slide detects movement of the slide to actuate the lock. The lock is coupled to the slide and to the detector, and blocks movement of the slide towards the distal point when the lock is in an engaged state.
