  • View activation via hit testing in an asynchronous windowing system
    Patent number: 10346031
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for activating applications in a distributed asynchronous system based on detecting touches on a display. The system detects an input on a display. The input on the display may be, for example, from a human touch or a pointing device. An input state manager executes hit-testing on a visual tree to identify a selected view using the input on the display. The selected view is compared to an active view. A shell in the system is notified when the selected view does not match the active view. The input state manager is then notified if the selected view should be made a new active view. The system instructs an application activation service to activate an application associated with the selected view. An input state manager is notified when the application associated with the selected view has been made an active view.
