It may be defined more precisely below. A GUI in which, when a pointer0is immediately adjacent or passes over a control area1, a procedure is initiated whereby subsequent movement of the pointer over a predetermined path area3generates a ‘click’ event which simulates direct clicking of the control1and moving outside the predetermined path area3prior to completion of the path3resets the control to as if the pointer has never started along the predetermined path area3.
