More Information
Summary:An invention is disclosed for using touch input to display a representation of information for an item of a plurality of grouped items not otherwise accessible via other touch input. In an embodiment, a user provides touch input to a touch-input device that comprises a scrubbing motion. Where the scrub corresponds to interacting with an item of a plurality of grouped items, a representation of information not otherwise accessible via other touch input is displayed (such as an infotip). In this manner, touch input may serve as a way to obtain a mouse-over event where there is no mouse pointer with which to create a mouse-over.
