Martin Sonntag - Kirkland WA
Randall Lee Kerr - Redmond WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 314

US Classification:

345763, 345762, 345708, 345804, 345967, 717 3, 717 5

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for creating and editing event handlers that link events triggered on one object to actions taken on one or more different objects. The method provides a user interface having an event pane, action pane and code pane. A user selects an event icon in the event pane to link that event to a desired action in the action pane. The code that is generated in the code pane can be displayed in either a list view or a code view. In the list view, the event handler is presented to the user in simple, concise statements that are easy for the user to understand. In the code view, the actual event handler code in either VBScript or JavaScript languages is presented to the user.

US Classification:

709206000, 709232000

Abstract:

In some embodiments, computer-implemented methods are provided to allow users to store electronic files in a central repository accessed over a network. The stored files are associated with the users and can be associated with particular channels established using a server based application. The channels can designate parties that have access thereto. Users can control settings related to the channels. The users can also transmit electronic files to the channels by email and can also control actions taken by the server with respect to the electronic files using commands in the email. Systems are provided for carrying out the computer-implemented methods.

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

395341

Abstract:

A system for scrolling during a drag and drop operation is provided wherein the determination of whether to scroll is based on the location of a mouse indicator as well as the speed of the mouse indicator. The system maintains a predetermined threshold that is empirically proven to reliably distinguish as to whether a user wishes to perform a drag and drop operation or whether the user wishes to invoke the automatic scrolling of the present invention. The system determines when the mouse indicator is over a predefined area of a window, compares the speed of the mouse indicator to the predetermined threshold and scrolls the window if the mouse indicator is over the predefined area and the speed is less than the predetermined threshold.
