Abstract
A method involves using a first software module loaded within a storage device to publish a first paint method under a first window object, the first window object covering a first portion of a display operatively connected to the storage device, using a second software module loaded within the storage device to publish a second paint method under a second window object, wherein the second window object at least partially overlaps the first window object and at least partially covers the first portion of the display, and displaying data within the first portion of the display by calling the first paint method and the second paint method in order based upon a property, such as a hierarchical-based property, of both the first window object and the second window object, where data originates from more than one hardware devices operatively connected to the storage device.
