Utilizing a first managed process to host at least a second managed process
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing a first managed process to host at least a second managed process, said computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a first managed process;
hosting at least a second managed process within said first managed process; and
providing an unmanaged process to facilitate communication between said first managed process and said second managed process, said unmanaged process allowing a user to automatically communicate with said first managed process while said second managed process is operational and said first managed process is in the background without requiring said user to select said first managed process.

Abstract
A system and method for utilizing a first managed process to host at least a second managed process is disclosed. The technology initially provides a first managed process. The first managed process hosting at least a second managed process. An unmanaged process is then provided to facilitate communication between the first managed process and the second managed process, such that a user can automatically communicate with the first managed process while the second managed process is operational and the first managed process is in the background without requiring the user to select the first managed process.

9. A managed process interoperator comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving a message for at least one managed process; a message comparator for comparing said message with a list of message types provided to a host managed process by at least one hosted managed process; and a message filter configured to route said message to at least one of said hosted managed processes when said message is on said list of message types requested by said hosted managed process and to route said message to said host managed process when said message is not on said list of message types. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. Instructions on a computer-usable medium wherein the instructions when executed cause a computer system to perform a method for utilizing a first managed process to host at least a second managed process, said computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a message from an input device; receiving a list of message types of interest for at least one hosted managed process operating in conjunction with a host managed process; comparing said message from said input device to said list of message types of interest; and utilizing an unmanaged process to direct said message from said input device to either said host managed process or one of said hosted managed processes based on said comparing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
