Abstract

See full text

Merging a first set of items from a first container in a first program module and a second set of items from a second container in a second program module. An inquiry is conducted to decide which of the first set of items and the second set of items are eligible to be donated. Eligible items are combined by combining the eligible items of the first set of items with the eligible items from the second set of items. A merged container contains at least one item of the first set of items and at least one item from the second set of items. This merged container can be displayed to present the items included within that container. The containers typically comprise command bars and the items typically comprise controls.
