a display device for displaying a first object comprising a first information label, wherein the first object represents a selected portion of the data processing system;
a user interface for receiving a first plurality of control signals corresponding to a first data processing operation, wherein the first plurality of control signals modifies the first data processing operation; and
a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the user interface to receive the first plurality of control signals, the CPU executing the first data processing operation, the first data processing operation accessing a second object and the CPU selectively providing a second plurality of control signals to modify the first information label in response thereto.
16. A method for displaying a container in a data processing system, comprising the steps of:
accessing a first information value from a memory of the data processing system to indicate a first displayed characteristic;
accessing a selected portion of the data processing system corresponding to the container to obtain a second information value corresponding to the first displayed characteristic; and
displaying the second information value in a first information label of the container on a display device of the data processing system.
providing a user interface for enabling an external user to selectively indicate the first information value.
receiving a plurality of control signals to modify a portion of contents of the selected portion of the data processing system;
enabling a central processing unit of the data processing system to modify the portion of the contents of the selected portion of the data processing system;
accessing the selected portion of the data processing system corresponding to the logical container to obtain a third information value corresponding to the first displayed characteristic, wherein the third information value is accessed after the central processing unit modifies the portion of the contents of the selected portion of the data processing system; and
displaying the third information value in the first information label of the container on the display device of the data processing system.
receiving a plurality of control signals access a third information value from the memory of the data processing system to indicate a second displayed characteristic;
accessing the selected portion of the data processing system corresponding to the container to obtain a fourth information value corresponding to the second displayed characteristic; and
displaying the fourth information value in the first information label of the container on the display device of the data processing system.
23. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for simulating an object in a data processing system, said method steps comprising:
28. The program storage device of claim 23, further comprising the steps of:
detecting when a plurality of control signals modify a portion of contents of the selected portion of the data processing system;
accessing the selected portion of the data processing system corresponding to the container to obtain a third information value corresponding to the first displayed characteristic, wherein the third information value is accessed after the central processing unit modifies the portion of the contents of the selected portion of the data processing system; and
29. The program storage device of claim 23, further comprising the steps of:
