Navigation between a plurality of property sheets on a display of a mobile electronic device, each of the property sheets having a tab index and a layout defining a plurality of elements. One of the property sheets is a displayed property sheet and one of the elements is a current active element. Navigation includes (i) storing the tab index of the displayed property sheet as a current tab index; (ii) detecting a soft key event; regardless of which of the elements is a current active element, (iii) modifying the current tab index based on a soft key identifier of the soft key event to create an updated tab index; and (iv) displaying another property sheet of the plurality of property sheets on the display, the another property sheet having a tab index equal to the updated tab index.

System and method for navigating in a display window

A method for handling open and close events in a wireless device is provided. The wireless device has a sensor coupled to a processor, the sensor providing an open signal to the processor indicating an open event when the wireless device is opened and providing a close signal to the processor indicating a close event when the wireless device is closed. The method comprises detecting one of the open event and the close event each time the open event or the close event occurs; recording the detected event and a time of the detected event with each event occurrence; monitoring for two recorded events within a predetermined time threshold; executing a first configured action if two events are recorded within the predetermined time threshold; monitoring for only a single recorded event within the predetermined time threshold; and executing a second configured action if only a single event is recorded within the predetermined time threshold.

System and method for handling open and close events in a mobile communication device

An improved handheld electronic device includes an Application Programming Interface (API) that generates various notifications in certain circumstances. Certain predetermined criteria that have been established for a particular routine on the handheld electronic device are employed to ignore certain of the notifications in appropriate circumstances in order to conserve computing and power resources.
