Abstract:
1. A method to provide on a computer a graphical user interface, which facilitates manipulation of a pointer on a screen displaying application windows, when the applications use logical barriers to block movement of the pointer in a window area, the method comprising: receiving from a pointing device interface of a computer device driver an event advising of a movement of the pointing device corresponding to a delta movement of a pointer in a window of an application; computing delta coordinates of the pointer based on the delta movement of the pointing device; reading current coordinates of the pointer; reading a current pointing device mode, wherein the current pointing device mode is a pressure between the pointing device and a surface under the pointing device; analyzing the current pointing device mode for determining if pressure is applied; if there is a logical barrier in an application window to be crossed when applying the delta coordinates to the pointer:
