摘要： A componentizing object designer is used to define a componentization of visual forms and other object-oriented technologies. The componentized object designer includes a set of tightly integrated protocols enabling Component Object Model (COM) objects to replace standard built-in visual form and other objects. The componentized object designer allows the design-time object and the run-time object to differ in implementation. The componentized object designer allows class identifiers for the run-time objects which are different than design-time objects. With a different class identifier, the run-time object can be saved as an object which is radically different from the design-time object. This enables the run-time object to be stored in a different object library than the design-time object. The componentized object designer allows for different persistence formats to be saved for run-time objects. The persistence formats for the run-time objects can be significantly smaller in size compared to the original design-time objects. This is important when the run-time object needs to be downloaded over a computer network like the Internet or an intranet.

摘要： A component integration system including a component manager that controls the main message loop of the application program and allows a multiplicity of components running within a single process to share in main message loop services. If the application program supports multiple threads running within a single process, then the component manager allows a multiplicity of components running within a single thread to share in main message loop services. Specifically, the component manager routes messages from the main message queue to the various components and allows the components to share in the following services: (1) allocation of idle time, (2) pretranslation of accelerator and other messages, (3) notification of program state changes, and (4) pushing the main message loop. The component manager and the cooperating components define standard interfaces for introducing new components into the application program. Thus, these new components may share in the message loop services without having to duplicate the message loop processing code, and without developing parallel execution stacks.

摘要： A method and system for aggregating objects within a computer system are provided. In a preferred embodiment, the method aggregates an enclosed object within an enclosing object. The enclosed object has an object management interface and an external interface, while the enclosing object has a controlling object management interface. The controlling object management interface and the external interface of the enclosed object have query function members for receiving an identifier of an interface and for returning a reference to the identified interface. A preferred embodiment creates an instance of an enclosing object and an object to be enclosed. In static aggregation, the controlling object management interface of the enclosing object knows in advance how to return an identifier to the external interface of the enclosed object. In dynamic aggregation, an object to be enclosed is added to the enclosing object after the enclosing object is instantiated. Once aggregated, when the query function member of the object management interface of the enclosed object receives an identifier of an interface, it invokes the query function member of the controlling object management interface forwarding the interface identifier and returns the reference to an interface returned by the invoked query function member of the controlling object management interface. In dynamic aggregation, rules for determining to which interface to return a reference can by added to the enclosing object and used by the query function member of the controlling object management interface.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于聚合计算机系统内的对象的方法和系统。 在优选实施例中，该方法聚集封闭对象内的封闭对象。 封闭对象具有对象管理界面和外部接口，而封闭对象具有控制对象管理界面。 控制对象管理界面和封闭对象的外部接口具有用于接收接口标识符和返回对所标识接口的引用的查询功能成员。 优选实施例创建封闭对象和要封闭的对象的实例。 在静态聚合中，封闭对象的控制对象管理界面预先知道如何将标识符返回到封闭对象的外部接口。 在动态聚合中，在封闭对象被实例化之后，要包围的对象将添加到封闭对象。 一旦聚合，当被封闭对象的对象管理接口的查询函数成员接收到接口的标识符时，它调用控制对象管理接口的查询函数成员转发接口标识符，并返回引用返回的接口 调用对象管理界面的查询功能成员。 在动态聚合中，用于确定返回引用到哪个接口的规则可以通过添加到封闭对象并由控制对象管理接口的查询函数成员使用。

摘要： 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.

摘要： A method and system for retrieving and maintaining presentation data in a presentation cache is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a presentation cache object provides a presentation cache with multiple cache entries. Each entry contains an indication of the format of the presentation data and the presentation data stored in that particular format. In addition, other information, such as the advisees of advisory connections for notification of cache updates, can be maintained. The presentation cache object responds to requests for retrieving source object data by returning presentation data cached within the presentation cache when it is available. In addition, the presentation cache object determines when it should delegate requests to the source object and when it can satisfy them on its own. The presentation cache object can return presentation data to a requesting client program even if the server program implementing the source object is unavailable or not running. The presentation cache object can also choose to persistently store its cache entries so that the presentation cache is maintained when the source object is closed. In addition, client programs can provide control over the frequency and subject of presentation data updates within the presentation cache.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and system for multi-threaded processing that is an improvement over conventional systems. The system of the present invention comprises multiple threads of execution, multiple apartments, shared data, and a concurrency management component. The threads of execution run independently and each occupy one apartment. The apartments contain objects that have methods to perform operations. The shared data contains data that is accessible by all threads within the process. The concurrency management mechanism performs processing so that the multiple threads can execute concurrently in a reliable and robust manner. In an alternative system of the present invention, the threads are separate from the apartments and the threads execute within the apartments to perform processing. After performing the processing, the thread exits the apartment so that the apartment may be occupied by another thread.

摘要： A method and apparatus for allowing multiple developers of software applications working in client/server computing network to remotely save, test and debug project files such as web pages. The client computer is capable of emulating server side operations to allow the developer to locally test changes to project files before they are saved on the server. The client computer maintains an accurate view of the overall project, but without having to locally copy the entire software project, by storing file information relating to the software project including, for example, metadata, link information, and BOT replacements, and/or a directory structure of the files and folders in the software project that mirrors the directory structure of the software project on the server. Various features include providing developers with the ability to check out, modify and debug files concurrently with other developers, and merging changes made by different developers to the same file. Concurrently modified files may be merged by prompting a developer when conflicts arise between the files to be merged.
