Abstract
A system and method for displaying multiple dialog boxes in a window display is disclosed. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a method for generating a dialog box in an environment of window display using a pointer associated with a pointing device is described. The dialog box may be opened by placing the pointer above an object to be selected and moving the pointer downward across the object to be selected. An operation as is described opens a preserved principal dialog box associated with the selected object. The principal dialog box in accordance with the above procedure remains opened regardless whether the pointer is still within the boundary of the principal dialog box. The opened dialog box may be closed by placing the pointer below the selected object and moving the pointer upwardly across the selected object.
