Abstract:

High performance touch drag and drop are described. In embodiments, a multi-threaded architecture is implemented to include at least a manipulation thread and an independent hit test thread. The manipulation thread is configured to receive one or more messages associated with an input and send data associated with the messages to the independent hit test thread. The independent hit test thread is configured to perform an independent hit test to determine whether the input hit an element that is eligible for a particular action, and identify an interaction model associated with the input. The independent hit test thread also sends an indication of the interaction model to the manipulation thread to enable the manipulation thread to detect whether the particular action is triggered.
