Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that provide for adaptively anticipating user interactions with a computer application. In one embodiment, an ordered history of user interactions, with controls of a computerized form provided by a legacy computer application, is captured. A likelihood data structure is generated which represents conditional probabilities indicating the likelihood that each control of the computerized form will be a next control used. A list of next likely controls to be used is generated based on the likelihood data structure. The next likely controls are ranked within the list according to conditional probability. A limited graphical user interface, representing the list of next likely controls, is generated. A next control of the computerized form to be used is regulated by displaying the limited graphical user interface.
