Abstract:
1. In a computer system, a method of determining input device support of a screen element of a graphical user interface, comprising: executing the graphical user interface; automatically examining executable portions of Java bytecode defining the screen element of the graphical user interface to determine whether the screen element is programmed with an ability to process a signal to be received from an input device, wherein the automatic examining of the executable portions of Java bytecode is performed without executing the Java bytecode; as a result of automatically examining the executable portions of Java bytecode, automatically identifying an executable portion of the Java bytecode defining the screen element as having the ability to process the signal to be received from the input device; and as a result of automatically identifying the executable portion of the Java bytecode, altering an appearance of the screen element to signify the ability to process the signal to be received from the input device.
