|
Use the application's name
in the parent window and the data file's name in the child windows. |
| |
|
|
If the user maximizes the
file's child window, format the title text following the same convention as a
tool application, with the application's name first, followed by the data filename. |
| |
|
|
If the appliacation supports
multiple windows for viewing the same file, the title text can be used to distinguish
between views. |
| |
|
|
(A convention that will
not be confused as part of the file name should be used. Appending :n, where n
represents the instance of the window as in Document:2. ) |
| |
|
|
Do not include this view designation as part of the filename that is the default
in the Save As dialog box. |
| |
|
|
If the name of the displayed object in the window changes update the title
text to reflect that change. |
| |
|
|
The title text and title
bar icon should always represent the outmost container (the object that was opened)
even if the user selects an embeded object or navigates the internal hierarchy
of the object being viewed in the window. |
| |
|
|
If you need additional
specification to clarify what the user is viewing, place this specification after
the filename and separate it clearly from the filename, such as enclosing it in
parentheses. |
| |
|
|
When the width of the window
does not allow you to display the complete title text, abbreviate the title text,
maintaining the essential information that allows the window to be identified. |
| |
|
|
Avoid drawing directly
into the title bar or adding other controls. The system uses this area for displaying
special controls. In some international versions of Windows the title area provides
information or controls associated with the input of certain languages. |
