- Curt,
-
- I don't think you need to go as far as having a desktop view - unless you are
- going to throw away the window manager like you threw away the dialog manager!
-
- The important feature here is to allow direct manipulation, make sure it
- interacts cleanly with things like auto-scroll (i.e. things should not auto
- scroll in this case). It seems to me that there should be one utility routine
- to figure out what window/view the mouse is over, so we all don't write it (And
- get something wrong).
-
- I can see a view getting a call like "DraggingOver(point)" as the mose passes
- over it, or I guess this is really what "Trackfeedback" should do. Anyway, it
- really is almost essential make a standard utility routine.
