Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer-implementable method and system, and a computer-readable medium, for establishing and using a widget-centric context-based layer. SOLUTION: In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes a computer detecting a mouse hover over a visual control that is displayed on a visual layer canvas. In response to determining that the visual control is supported by a context layer, the computer displays the visual control and component icons on a context layer canvas, wherein the context layer includes elements from both an upper visual layer and a lower component layer, and wherein the component icons are associated with respective components from the lower component layer. The computer then receives a user input that selects one or more of the component icons, thus permitting associated components to be edited. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
