ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for manipulation of data in a computer-controlled display system. A user may select data from a first application program and drag it to an area on the computer system display representing a third application program. The first application program creates a series of formats into which the data may be provided and, in some instance, the data itself. Moreover, a second process appends to that list of formats a series of formats that it can provide the data in. Then, upon receipt of the list of formats and/or data of the first item, the third process can request the data in any of the formats from either the first or second processes, if required.
