`
`to at least one of presenting the selection control, presenting the previous portion,

`
`detecting a timer expiration, detecting a particular time, detecting that a scroll condition
`
`is met based on a count of items in the selection control, detecting a change in a
`
`resource represented by an item in the plurality, detecting a change in state of an
`
`application presenting the selection control, and a detecting a message from another
`
`application.
`
`5. The method of claim 1 wherein the second portion includes a number of items
`
`that are not included in the first portion and the number is based on at least one of a
`
`preconfigured value, a user-specified value, a type of an item in at least one of the first
`
`portion and the second portion, a size of an item presented in the selection control in at
`
`least one of the first portion and the second portion, a size of the selection control, and
`
`to the first operation handler in response to receiving the first selection information.
`
`a visibly detectable attribute of an item presented in the selection control in at least one
`
`of the first portion and the second portion.
`
`6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first operation handler is identified based on
`
`the first selection information.
`
`7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first selected item is automatically identified

`

`

`8. The method of claim 1 wherein the first selected item is identified to the first
`
`a user input, providing an indication to perform the operation.
`
`9. The method of claim 1 wherein the method further includes receiving second
`
`selection information identifying a second selected item included in at least one of the
`
`first portion and the second portion.
`
`10. The method of claim 9 wherein the second selection information is received at
`
`least one of before, after, and during receiving the first selection information.
`
`11. The method of claim 9 wherein identifying the first selected item to the first
`
`operation handler includes identifying the second selected item to the first operation
`
`handler.
`
`operation handler in response to receiving an operate indicator, detected in response to

`
`12. The method of claim 11 wherein the first selected item and the second selected
`
`item are identified to the first operation handler in response to receiving a first operate
`
`indicator, received in response to a detected user input.
`
`13. The method of claim 9 further comprises identifying the second selected item to
`
`a second operation handler configured to perform an operation based on the second
`
`selected item.
`
`14. The method of claim 13 wherein the second selected item is automatically
`
`identified to the second operation handler in response to receiving the second selection
`
`information.
`
`15. The method of claim 9 wherein the first selected item is identified to the first
`
`operation handler and the second selected item is identified to a second operation

`

`handler in response to receiving an operate indicator, received in response to a
`
`detected user input.
`
`16. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
`
`determining that the second portion is an last portion including a last item, in the
`
`plurality, according to an order of the items in the plurality; and
`
`in response to determining that the second portion is the last portion ,
`
`automatically presenting a third portion, including an item previously presented and not

`
`determining that the second portion is a last portion including a last item, in the
`
`plurality, according to an order of the items in the plurality; and

`in response to determining the second portion is the last portion, waiting to
`
`an item not included in the last portion.
`
`18. The method of claim 1 further including automatically presenting a third portion,

`subsequent to presenting the second portion and subsequent to identifying the first
`
`selected item to the first operation handler.
