Abstract
A system and method for performing context-based actions in an electronic device is provided. The method includes selecting one or more first graphical objects in the electronic device, detecting a drag-and-drop event on the selected one or more first graphical objects involving manipulation of the one or more first graphical objects over one or more second graphical objects, and identifying a context associated with each of the one or more first graphical objects and the one or more second graphical objects in response to the detected drag-and-drop event, wherein the context of the one or more first graphical objects is shared with the one or more second graphical objects. Furthermore, the method includes performing one or more actions in the electronic device based on the identified context.
