DRAG AND DROP FUNCTIONALITY IN MULTI-MONITOR AND LARGE MONITOR ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

A computer system includes a client device to remotely access a virtual desktop, and is configured to perform a drag and drop operation. The drag and drop operation is based on launching a plurality of windows on at least one display, and detecting dragging of an object selected by an input device within one of the windows. At least one thumbnail is overlaid on the window with the dragged object, with the at least one thumbnail representing at least one of the other windows that could receive the dragged object. Dropping of the dragged object by the input device onto one of the thumbnails is detected. The dropped object is then moved or copied to the window represented by the thumbnail receiving the dropped object.
