Abstract

A method and system for providing a graphical user interface for application programs implemented with component architectures such as COM (Component Object Model), DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model), CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) and the like. The invention allows a graphical user interface to be implemented with a renderer such as a DHTML browser and allows new components to be added to an application program without requiring rewriting of the graphical user interface.
