Input: 1.2 Input Flow: Input Manager and GenSystem

The Input Manager is part of the User Interface and primarily assesses input events in the context of the system. It takes a raw input event from the device driver, passes it through various pre-set monitors (for the UI), and then adds contextual information if necessary. The Input Manager passes the refined input event on to the topmost system object, the GenSystem object.

The GenSystem object determines where the event should be passed. Typically, it will send the event on to whichever application is designated as the active application.
