Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drag and drop | Choose drag and drop when the design problem is moving an object from a source to a destination, position, group, or order. | Dragging starts only from the intended handle, object, or selected set, not from unrelated scroll or text-selection movement. | Supports providing a non-drag single-pointer alternative for dragging movement functionality. |
