Source Indicator

The source indicator is a representation of the selection (or the thing being dragged). It comes in several versions depending upon whether the selection represents single or multiple items and what kind of thing the selection is representing. Table 3-1 shows examples of drag icons.

Note -

Since the drag icons are dynamically composited as cursors, screen shots cannot be taken; therefore, Table 3-1 is an approximation of what is seen on the screen and may not be completely accurate.

The hot spot is located on the top left corner (1,1) for the text drag icons. The hot spot for the single and multiple drag icons is located at the top left pixel of the invalid icon (3,3). Each drag icon has been tuned to increase user accuracy at targeting and positioning.
