ABSTRACT:
A mouse mode manager for controlling operation of software objects on a display screen including a set of mouse mode buttons displayed on the display screen, the mouse mode buttons for selecting mutually exclusive operating modes of the software objects in response to a user supplied stimulus. To change the operating mode of the software objects a user stimulates the mouse mode button corresponding to the desired operating mode either by touching a touch sensitive screen over the desired mouse mode button or by pointing and clicking a mouse while the pointer is over the desired mouse mode button. The mouse mode manager stores the selected mouse operating mode in a storage device and informs the software objects as to the current mouse mode status.
