20110119636 METHOD AND SYSTEM TO IMPROVE GUI USE EFFICIENCY - A method and system to facilitate manipulation of the pointer on a screen displaying application windows when the applications use logical barriers to block the movement of the pointer in a window area. The GUI computes new pointer coordinates on the screen of an application window. In the case where the pointing device movement requires a crossing of a logical barrier implemented by the application, if the pointing device is in ‘flying mode’ the GUI of the invention authorizes the pointer to directly cross the barrier. If the pointing device is in ‘crawling mode’ the GUI does not authorize the barrier to be crossed and the pointer is blocked by the barrier.05-19-2011
