摘要: A method and apparatus provide a direct manipulation protocol to allow user, while dragging source object target object, pass the through one or more intervening processor objects, causing an appropriate action occur when it is dropped on object. If passed across for which no occurs, remains unchanged in appearance content. undergoes modification, its graphical representation user changes, giving feedback that has been modified.
