Abstract
A method and apparatus for simulating at least one gesture of a pointing device such as a mouse. A left click, right click, left drag, right drag, and/or mouse movement may be simulated using a stylus in conjunction with a touch-sensitive display surface. For example, a computer having the display surface may detect whether a stylus is being held down on a touch-sensitive display surface for at least a threshold amount of time. The computer may further detect whether the stylus is then removed from the touch-sensitive display surface after at least the threshold amount of time. Responsive to the stylus being removed, the computer may generate at least one event representing a right mouse button being pressed.
