Abstract
An apparatus, program product, user interface control and method indicate, on a data set user interface control, the size of a subset of data relative to an overall data set accessible by the control. The data set user interface control may be implemented in much the same manner as a scroll bar, including a slider control that can be manipulated along a scroll region of the scroll bar to adjust the parameters of the subset of data accessible through the window. Further, the length of the slider may be set relative to that of the scroll region to represent the size of the current subset relative to the overall data set. The length of the slider may also be manipulated by a user to adjust the size of the current subset. While a data set user interface control may be implemented in a wide variety of additional environments, one particularly suitable use is in a client-server environment where a data set is retrieved in the form of subsets from an external information source accessible via a server computer.
