Abstract
A method and an electronic device for manipulating a first user interface object are provided. The electronic device is capable of detecting a first type of touch on a touch screen of the electronic device and a second type of touch on the touch screen. The electronic device detects a first touch of the first type at the first user interface object. The electronic device sets the first user interface object to a first state in response to the detection of the first touch. Next, the electronic device detects a second touch of the first type at a second user interface object. Then, the electronic device manipulates the first or second user interface object based on properties of the first and second user interface objects in response to the detection of the second touch.
