  • Inserting user interface elements into native applications
    Publication number: 20070143662
    Abstract: Custom user interfaces are inserted into native applications enabling various presentation formats to be used for integrating inserted user interfaces with existing user interface(s) of the native application. Inserted user interfaces may be presented as collapsible adjoining form regions, task panes, and/or large form regions as part of a tab collection of the native application. Registering the added user interfaces in a structured file in the operating system registry instead of an application protocol interface registration specific to the application enables synchronized installation of custom user interfaces and their controls.
