ABSTRACT:
An inter-panel process flow control method and system for enabling an uninhibited change of scope from the active panel to another panel visible on a display screen. The process relies on object-oriented programming constructs, particularly the inheritance property, and the control methods associated with the panel class. A hierarchical internal program logic is implemented where each child panel inherits the control method of its parent panel. An Action Router control method determines if a change of scope request can be handled locally by the currently active panel. The child panels of the currently active panel are queried in a controlled sequence using this inherited control method until a child panel is found that can handle the change of scope request.
