Estimating the term…
A mechanism for generating customized graphical user interfaces for applications in an object-oriented environment is disclosed. Such applications may comprise Java beans, applets or components. The graphic user interface comprises a visual user interface, e.g. an action bar which contain a set of buttons and menus as well as a set of widget and property/command panels, as well as a communication interface through which configuration and user responses are exchanged with the applications. The relationship between the graphic user interface and an applet is based on the applet communicating selection and user interface information to the graphic user interface, and the graphic user interface handling the user gestures by calling methods on specific interfaces of the applet. Communications between the graphic user interface and applets occur over an information bus architecture referred to as the InfoBus.
A method for providing a user interface to applet members within a Java virtual machine (JVM) having an information bus that allows direct communication and data sharing between applet members of the information bus, the method comprising the steps of:
A computer program product to provide a user interface to applet members within a Java virtual machine (JVM) having an information bus that allows direct communication and data sharing between applet members of the information bus the computer program product comprising computer usable medium upon which program code is stored, comprising:
A method for dynamically generating a user interface in a network computer environment comprising the steps of:
