Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed to expand and collapse a GUI list component. The apparatus may have a display module, a user interface module, a default module, a resize module, a selection module, a collapse module, an expand module, and a scroll module. The display module displays a GUI list component to a user with a list frame and list entries. The user interface module receives user inputs. The default module sets dimensions of the list frame based on default values. The resize module sets dimensions of the list frame based on the user inputs. The selection module defines pervasive list entries and non-pervasive list entries. The collapse module hides the non-pervasive list entries without hiding the pervasive list entries, and resizes the list frame. The expand module reveals the non-pervasive list entries and resizes the list frame. The scroll module dynamically displays a scroll component.
