Appl. No.:

10/396805

Inventors:

Alex Mogilevsky - Bellevue WA, US
Mark Douglas Harper - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719328, 719315

Abstract:

Described is a mechanism for providing scoped modular services (SMS) through an API. A common set of services is provided by the API that may be enabled or disabled by each component. The services are managed using a property system in the same manner as element properties are used, such as properties relating to text formatting. This helps to ensure fine control and a high degree of customization for a user interface. The use of the services is not limited to editing in the common sense of the word. The SMS is a mechanism for controlling access to implementation of services contained within a tree of components. Services may also be created by developers that are managed by a service manager along with the common services.

US Classification:

345418, 345156, 358 19, 358 115, 358 328

Abstract:

A system and process for capturing and rendering ink is described. An ink canvas object may contain none, one, or more objects or elements and may specify the z-order of the objects or elements. The ink canvas object may host a variety of objects or elements and, therefore, provide ink functionality to the objects or elements, even though the objects or elements themselves may not have ink functionality. The ink canvas object is attached to an ink editor that has an associated modifiable ink editor behavior, whereby ink specific behaviors are collected in the ink edit behavior.

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719318, 711100

Abstract:

A user interface event is received by way of a user interface. A software component adapted to process the user interface event may be pushed onto a memory stack, and the user interface event may be processed using the software component on the stack, or with a software component that is not on the stack. The software component on the stack, if used, may then be popped from the memory stack. In addition, a plurality of software components may be pushed onto the memory stack, and in that case, at least one of the components may be selected to process the user interface event. The user interface event is processed using at least one of the plurality of software components, and one or more of the plurality of software components are popped from the memory stack.
