Abstract: The invention relates to methods for handling user-level events for programming an application. The methods aim at providing the designer of an application the ability to use easily understandable user-level events rather than low-level, often platform dependant input events, whose use generally requires important programming skills. It also aims at optimizing the generation of user-level events, by improving the detection of events and detecting only a subset of possible user-level events depending on the context of the application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a designer computing device to generate an application, and a user computing device to execute the application. The designer computing device executes decision rules for determining the type of properties and performing a selection of properties of interest of a class to render the development of the application by a designer easier. Indeed, this allows a designer choosing the properties of an object to display among pre-selected properties of interest. Furthermore, a designer computing device of the invention is able to automatically generate a layout of the application, based on the previously selected properties.
