摘要: An improved system for managing user inputs and z-order in a graphic interface (GUI) environment is disclosed. A GUI element may include plurality of keys corresponding to on typical keyboard, serve as replacement the keyboard. The permits an application having input focus retain while are received element, even transient elements (e.g., menus) will remain displayed those applications after entered. Input pen mouse events first be forwarded area application, which remove from normal circulation, preventing other learning events, then post panel separately.
