Abstract

See full text

An opening part of an extensible and replaceable network-oriented component system opens asynchronous information by maintaining a placeholder until an actual data type determination is made. While this placeholder is being maintained, the progress of the opening process may be monitored and displayed. Upon determining the actual data type of the asynchronous information, the appropriate display part for the data type may be obtained. The network-oriented system includes a novel application programming interface for the opening part that facilitates integration with an underlying software component architecture. Such a highly-modular cooperating layered-arrangement between the network component system and the component architecture allows the opening part to be replaced, extended or modified by other opening-type components, while ensuring that these latter components 'seamlessly' interact with existing components and component editors of the system.
