4. A method comprising:
-
generating GUI items comprising at least one GUI parent having at least one GUI child; dividing each GUI parent into cursor linking sectors; mapping each GUI child to at least one of the cursor linking sectors; and linking a cursor to a GUI child using the mapping.

5. A method for tracking a cursor in a GUI framework application comprising:
-
generating GUI items comprising at least one GUI parent having at least one GUI child; dividing each GUI parent into cursor linking sectors; mapping each GUI child to at least one of the cursor linking sectors; and linking a cursor to a GUI child using the mapping.

7. A method comprising:
-
receiving a GUI comprising a GUI parent having GUI children, the GUI children having positions within the GUI parent; and dividing the GUI parent into container level, linking sectors based on the positions of the GUI children within the GUI parent wherein the linking sectors provide for linking to the GUI parent and/or the GUI children. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions to receive a GUI comprising a GUI parent having GUI children, the GUI children having positions within the GUI parent, and to divide the GUI parent into container level, linking sectors based on the positions of the GUI children within the GUI parent wherein the linking sectors provide for linking to the GUI parent and/or the GUI children.

18. A method comprising:
-
dividing a GUI parent, having GUI children, into linking sectors; mapping each of the GUI children to at least one of the sectors; linking a cursor to one of the GUI children using the mapping; and painting one of the GUI children based on the linking.
