CA 2686995

A method for handling user-interface gestures in non-rectangular regions of a graphical user interface includes creating a class comprising an event handler for an onmouseover event and an event handler for an onmouseout event. The method further includes adding each of a group of graphical elements to the class. Adding a graphical element to the class includes adding a reference to the graphical element to the class and attaching the event handlers to the graphical element. The method then identifies a specific graphical element in the group that triggered an invocation of one of the event handlers. The method then determines the closest border of the specific graphical element to the mouse pointer. In the event another graphical element in the group shares the closest border, the method stops either the onmouseover or onmouseout event from propagating. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
