ABSTRACT:
An information handling system manages the interaction between a graphical user interface and a program application. Procedural modules which define operations to be executed by the program application to implement specific functions are stored in a relational data table. Graphical objects such as polygons, rectangles, squares, arrows and other objects are stored in the relational data table. A menu driven system allows a user to associate or link, specific graphical objects with procedural modules such that when the graphical object is selected by a user through a mouse click operation, or the like, the program applications executes operations corresponding to the procedural modules associated with graphical objects selected. In this manner, a user can manage an object oriented system by relating various graphical objects to desired procedural modules to be executed by the program application.
