Abstract
A system and method for adapting a software control in an operating environment is disclosed. A control is placed within the operating environment and is adapted to be registered and recognized within the operating environment. A manager within the operating environment identifies the control. The manager also modifies the data structure of the control. The data structure includes data to interface within the operating environment and with other controls. Further, the control is recognizable within the operating environment.
Claims23
A method for adapting a control within an operating environment, comprising:
- identifying said control with a manager within said operating environment;
- modifying a data structure of said control with data from said manager;
- and
- updating said operating environment with said control.
A system for adapting a control within an operating environment, comprising:
- a manager within said operating environment to identify said control;
- a data structure to modify said control, wherein said data structure is added to said control by said manager;
- and
- another control, wherein said another control is updated by said manager according to said data structure.
A system for adapting a new control to an operating environment, comprising:
- a manager within said operating environment, wherein said new control initially is not recognized by said manager;
- another control within said operating environment;
- and
- a data structure added to said new control, wherein said manager and said another control interfaces with said new control via said data structure.
A method for adapting a control placed into an operating environment, comprising:
- adding said control to said operating environment;
- determining said control is unrecognizable by a manager within said operating environment;
- adding a data structure to said control, wherein said data structure comprises data to recognize said control within said operating environment;
- updating other components within said operating environment to interface with said control.
