A computer method and system for interacting with a containee object contained within a container object. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container object has a container application with a container window environment that has container resources for interacting with the container object. The containee object has a server application with a server window environment with server resources for interacting with the containee object. The method of the present invention displays the container window environment on a display device. A user then selects the containee object. In response to selecting the containee object, the method integrates a plurality of the server resources with the displayed container window environment. When a user then selects a server resource, the method invokes the server application to process the server resource selection. Conversely, when a user selects a container resource, the method invokes the container application to process the container resource selection.
A method in a computer system for scrolling an outer application window that contains an inner application window activated within the outer application window, user input to the outer application window being processed by a first application, user input to file timer application window being processed by a second application, the first and second application being a separate executable code images that are separately scheduled by an operating system of the computer system, the computer system having a display device and a window system for managing the displaying of windows on the display device and for passing user input events to applications, the window system allowing the scrolling of data displayed within a window, the method comprising the steps of:
A method in a computer system for controlling activation of a containee object activated in-place within a container object, the container object having a window environment that contains a container application window and a container menu bar with container contents, the containee object having a server window that is displayed within the window environment of the container object and having a server menu bar with server contents which are integrated with the container menu bar, such that the server contents and the container contents are displayed in combination in a joined application menu bar in the container application window instead of displaying the container menu bar, the method comprising the steps of:
A method in a computer system for scrolling a container object that contains a containee object, the container object having a container window, the computer system having an operating system that schedules execution of computer programs, the container object being managed by a container application program, the containee object being managed by a containee application program, each application program being a separate executable code image that is separately scheduled by the operating system, the method comprising the steps of:
A method in a computer system for controlling display of windows, the method comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable memory device containing instructions for controlling a computer processor in a computer system to scroll a container object that contains a containee object, the container object having a container window, the computer system having an operating system that schedules execution of computer programs, the container object being managed by a container application program, the containee object being managed by a containee application program, each application program being a separate executable code image that is separately scheduled by the operating system, by performing the steps of:
A computer-readable memory device containing instructions for controlling a computer processor in a computer system to scroll an outer application window that contains an inner application window activated within the outer application window, user input to the outer application window being processed by a first application, user input to the inner application window being processed by a second application, the first and second application being a separate executable code images that are separately scheduled by an operating system of the computer system, the computer system having a display device and a window system for managing the displaying of windows on the display device and for passing user input events to applications, the window system allowing the scrolling of data displayed within a window, by perforating the steps of:
A computer system for scrolling a container object, the computer system having an operating system that schedules execution of computer programs, the system comprising:
A computer system for scrolling comprising:
