 The real-time preview of the creation window includes: previewing the drawing output of the current main panel;

 The creating a taskbar button icon includes: when the taskbar button is not merged, the taskbar button icon corresponding to the main panel is set to a user-defined avatar;

The creating a taskbar button overlay status icon includes: when only one user is currently logged in, superimposing the user's online status on the taskbar button icon corresponding to the user, such as online, stealth, busy, or away, etc., generating a taskbar button Overlay status icon; When multiple users are currently logged in and the taskbar buttons are not merged, the online status of the corresponding user is superimposed on the taskbar button icon corresponding to each user, and the taskbar button overlay status icon is generated; And when the taskbar button is merged, the individual users are not superimposed on the taskbar button icon. Online status.

 When the main panel has one or more changes in the lock state change, the panel size change, the panel hidden state change, or the panel position change, the above step 103 performs the super task bar operation according to the monitored window message, and further includes: refreshing Window thumbnail.

 In this case, the real-time preview of the creation window includes: setting the size of the virtual window to be the same as the main panel; and performing any of the following processing on the preview offset position: when the main panel is not hidden Setting the offset position to the difference between the virtual window and the main panel; when the main panel is hidden and currently floating at the edge of the screen, the offset position is set between the virtual window and the main panel Difference; when the main panel is hidden and currently not suspended at the edge of the screen, the offset position is set as the difference between the virtual window and the main panel plus the size of the main panel;

 The creating a taskbar button icon includes: converting the avatar file into HICON format in memory.

 The performing the super task bar operation according to the monitored window message further includes: generating a jump list, and performing a corresponding jump operation according to the shortcut set by each item in the jump list.

 When multiple accounts are logged in, the processes corresponding to the multiple accounts display the current state of all current accounts in the jump list through the shared memory.

 It should be noted that the super task bar mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically but not limited to the Windows 7 task bar, and may also refer to other task bars having the functions provided by the Windows 7 task bar, for example, those skilled in the art are easy. Think of the taskbar in the upgraded version of Windows 7.

Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for controlling instant messaging software by using a super task bar. In this embodiment, the IM software is subjected to rich common control in the thumbnail of the super task bar, the thumbnail toolbar, the taskbar button, the taskbar button overlay icon, and the jump list; At the same time, the various operations and display portals of the super taskbar will change with the current number of machine login accounts, account status, operating system taskbar related settings, and the like.

 Specifically, the method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention is first introduced in conjunction with the technical hierarchy of the IM software shown in FIG. 2. After the user logs in to the IM software, the "IM Super Taskbar Manager" configured in the software creates a virtual window through the "Taskbar Thumbnail and Button Control Module", and controls the window thumbnail of the taskbar and the thumbnail toolbar through the virtual window. Operations such as window real-time previews, taskbar button icons, taskbar button overlay icons, and display entries. At the same time, the "IM Super Taskbar Manager" generates different jump lists according to different occasions through the "jump list module". The "IM Super Taskbar Manager" responds to user shortcuts in the taskbar area and jumplists to control the IM software. It should be noted that the "IM Super Taskbar Manager", "Taskbar Thumbnail and Button Control Module" and "Jump List Module" are software codes corresponding to specific functions.

 In order to clarify the method for controlling the instant communication software by using the super task bar provided by the embodiment, the function modules in FIG. 2 are described in detail below.

 After the user logs in to the instant messaging software, the "IM Super Taskbar Manager" of the instant messaging software creates a virtual window, and then listens to the window message through the virtual window (for example, the mouse is hovered on the taskbar icon), and executes the creation task according to the monitored message. Bar window thumbnails, Create thumbnail toolbars, Create window live previews, Create taskbar button icons, and Create taskbar button overlays.

 As shown in FIG. 3, controlling the performance of the main panel in the taskbar through the virtual window includes: Step 301: Create a virtual window.

 Specifically, the virtual window is created by the taskbar thumbnail and the button control module, and the created virtual window is set to be always visible, and placed to any distance (for example, the position is set to 10 times the screen size), and the lifetime is consistent with the main panel. .

Step 302, in the window process of the virtual window, is responsible for monitoring the creation of the taskbar, the thumbnail Generate, preview the graph generation, system settings changes, etc., and process accordingly. Among them, the system setting changes include the way the taskbar button is merged, the number of recently opened programs to be displayed in the "Start" menu, and so on.

 It should be noted that using a virtual window instead of the main panel has the following advantages:

 (1) The main panel corresponds to different windows at different times. It may be the main panel of the contact, or it may be the locking panel. The virtual window can be used to manage the performance of the taskbar of multiple panels (windows).

 (2) The virtual window can be used to centrally process the window message of the operating system without changing the logic of the original main panel;

 (3) When the main panel is hidden, the main panel can still be operated normally in the taskbar area through the virtual window.

 The following is a description of the window thumbnail of the task bar through the virtual window, the thumbnail toolbar, the window real-time preview, the taskbar button icon, and the taskbar button overlay icon operation. The window thumbnail operation of controlling the taskbar through the virtual window is first introduced.

 In the case where the taskbar button is merged (for example, when multiple users log in to the instant messaging software, the taskbar button is merged), the window thumbnail is the main panel thumbnail, and the drawing of the current main panel needs to be output, and the zoom is drawn onto the canvas. Thumbnail, as shown in Figure 4; when the taskbar is not merged (for example, when a single user logs in to the instant messaging software), the window thumbnail is a combination of "user avatar + nickname + account number" and the main panel thumbnail, as shown in Figure 5. Shown.

 In the case that the taskbar buttons are not merged, the process of creating thumbnails of the main panel is as shown in FIG. 6, including:

 Step 601: Create an invisible window, place a user avatar with a static picture control on the window, place a nickname and an account with a static text control, and output the current drawing of the window as Hl.

Step 602: Output the current drawing of the main panel as H2. In step 603, the HI and H2 are scaled and drawn onto the same canvas to obtain a new thumbnail. It should be noted that when one or more preset changes occur in the main panel, it is necessary to force the system to refresh the thumbnail. The predetermined one or more changes include a lock state change, a panel size change, a panel hidden state change, and a panel position change. In order to keep the correctness of the main panel thumbnails and live previews, and refresh them less frequently, the system will force the system to refresh the thumbnails when the above changes occur in the main panel.

 When you create a thumbnail toolbar, you can customize the buttons on the thumbnail toolbar as needed. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the thumbnail toolbar supports the "Lock IM (or Unlock)" and "Exit" buttons. In the embodiment of the present invention, when a corresponding thumbnail toolbar creation message is detected through a virtual window, a thumbnail toolbar is created (for example, a thumbnail toolbar is created by using the ITaskbarList3 interface in the Windows 7 operating system), and the IM is locked. (or unlock) and exit both buttons. Here, the ID of the button needs to be set to monitor the click message of the button, and when the lock state changes, the icon for locking the IM or unlocking is set correspondingly to the first button.

 The real-time preview of the window is mainly created based on the program customization. For example, when the real-time preview of the execution window is created, the current drawing of the main panel can be directly output to obtain a preview image. The window real-time preview is consistent with the system default. This preview is customized by the program, which can be extended according to the actual application. Since the default position and default size of the live view of the window are consistent with the actual window, the size of the virtual window must be set to match the main panel before the preview is displayed. In addition, you need to do some processing on the preview offset position. Specifically: When the main panel is not hidden, the offset position is set as the difference between the virtual window and the main panel; when the main panel is hidden, it is currently suspended. The edge of the screen, such as the mouse moves into the bottom of the main panel, the offset position is set as the difference between the virtual window and the main panel; when the main panel is hidden and is not currently floating at the edge of the screen, the offset position is set to The difference between the virtual window and the main panel, plus the size (height or width) of the main panel.

The creation of the taskbar button icon includes the taskbar button merge and non-merge, In the latter case, the taskbar button icon corresponding to the main panel is set to the user-defined avatar. Specifically, you only need to change the title icon of the virtual window to the user-defined avatar. The avatar file must be converted to HICON format in the memory, and the taskbar button title is set to the combination of the user nickname and the account number, as shown in FIG. .

 According to the current state of the user, the status icon is superimposed on the taskbar button, and the status includes the online status and the locked status. It should be noted that when the status icon is superimposed on the taskbar button, the status is merged according to the taskbar button merge status and the local machine. Numbers do different processing: Currently, when only one account is logged in, regardless of whether the taskbar button is merged or not merged, the taskbar button is superimposed with the status icon, as shown in Figure 9. When currently logging in multiple accounts, when the taskbar button is not When merging, the status icon is superimposed for the taskbar button; otherwise it is not superimposed. Among them, the merge status of the taskbar button is obtained by reading the registry. When the user dynamically changes the merge option, the merge status of the taskbar button can be obtained by responding to the window message.

 The process of creating a jump list by the jump list module in the embodiment of the present invention is described below. The process needs to be handled differently according to the number of simultaneous login accounts: Currently, when only one account is logged in, the jump list includes shortcuts such as user online status setting to lock IM, open main panel and exit, as shown in FIG. 10; The current setting limits the height of the jump list, so when creating the jump list, you need to first dynamically determine the number N of recently opened programs to be displayed in the "Start" menu (as shown in Figure 11), if N Can accommodate all the current custom status, then add the custom status to the jump list, otherwise it will not be added; when currently logging in multiple accounts, the jump list includes all the account information list currently logged in, click to appear corresponding The main panel, as shown in Figure 12.

In order to implement the jump function of the jump list, each item of the jump list is set as a shortcut, and the format must be an application + some parameters. In the present invention, an application program is specially designed to communicate with the IM tool, and the parameters of the shortcut are transmitted to the IM tool, so that the IM tool performs the corresponding jump operation according to the obtained parameters and the configured application. The format of the shortcut is defined as: APP Uin CmdID Param GUID

 The specific meaning of each parameter in the format of the above shortcut is as follows:

 Uin: user account;

 CmdID: Command ID, indicating the type of operation, including displaying an IM client, various states, locking IM, unlocking IM, opening the main panel, exiting, etc.

 Param: custom state name;

 GUID: The unique identifier that comes with the creation of this jumplist is updated each time the jumplist is recreated.

 When the shortcut is clicked, the APP corresponding to the shortcut is launched, and the parameters "Uin", "CmdID", "Param", and "GUID" are passed to the APP. After parsing each parameter, the APP passes the corresponding operation to the IM tool, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the IM tool. The execution of the shortcut is coordinated by the APP and the IM tool, as shown in FIG. 13, which specifically includes:

 Step 1301, the APP parses out various parameters;

 Step 1302, enumerate the running IM software process to find a process consistent with Uin; Step 1303, pass parameters to the IM software process through the COM inter-process communication interface; Step 1304, the IM software process receives the parameter information transmitted by the APP ;

 Step 1305, if the GUID is legal, the IM software performs the corresponding operation.

When logging in multiple accounts, the system needs to display the current status of all current accounts in the jump list. However, in the prior art, since the instant state of the other party, including the online state and the locked state, cannot be known between different accounts, it is impossible to display the current state of all current accounts. In the present invention, the IM software processes between different accounts complete the information sharing between the processes through the shared memory, and the process corresponding to each account is responsible for maintaining its own real-time state in the shared memory. When an account status is updated, the corresponding process is responsible for updating the jump list, and the status information is obtained from the shared memory. Depending on the number of currently logged in accounts, the taskbar overlay icon and the jumplist have different behaviors, and this change must be immediate. Similar to the execution of the jump list shortcut, the taskbar overlay icon also uses the COM interface to implement interprocess communication. The difference is that this communication takes place between two existing IM software processes without the need to start another third-party process.

 When an account is logged in and logged out, this account must be notified to other accounts. At this time, the IM software process corresponding to this account and other accounts must update the taskbar overlay icon or jump list according to the actual situation.

 The following describes the super taskbar help function module and the super taskbar Api package module. Among them, the super taskbar help function module is responsible for providing some common functions: obtaining the current state icon path, generating thumbnails, obtaining the current system about the taskbar settings, etc.; the super taskbar Api package module encapsulates the SDK Api of the operating system, Easy to use interface.
