1. A method performed on a computer processor, said method comprising:
- creating a renderable user interface for an application, said renderable user interface configured for rendering on a rendering device, said renderable user-interface including a user-interface component;
receiving a request to render said renderable user interface on a second different rendering device;
creating a copy of said renderable user interface, said copy of said renderable user interface including said user interface component;
modifying said copy of said renderable user interface into a second renderable user interface, said second renderable user interface fitting the specifications of said second different rendering device, modifying said copy of said renderable user interface comprising;
determining that said user interface component is not compliant with said second different rendering device; and
replacing said user interface component in said copy of said renderable user interface with a second different user interface component, said second different interface component fitting said specifications of said second different rendering device, replacing said user interface component including;
determining that said user interface component is associated with hidden data, said hidden data collapsed when said user interface component is rendered at said rendering device but displayable in response to user input selecting said user interface component at said rendering device; and
modifying said second user interface component so that said hidden data is exposed upon rendering said second user interface at said second different rendering device; and
causing said second renderable user interface to be rendered on said second different rendering device.

Abstract
A secondary output of a user interface created using a presentation framework may be created by making a clone of the user interface, then modifying the cloned user interface by expanding various components. The cloned user interface may also be configured to the output characteristics of the secondary output, which may be a printer or other hardcopy device. The user interface may be created with callbacks or other actions that may be executed when the cloned user interface is configured. The callbacks may cause certain user interface components to be changed on the cloned version of the user interface.

15. A computer program product for use at a computer system, said computer program product for implementing a method for rendering a user-interface, said computer program product comprising one or more computer storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed at a processor, cause the computer system to perform the method, including the following:
-
create a renderable user interface for an application, the created renderable user interface for rendering on a rendering device, said renderable user interface including a user interface component; receive a request to render said user interface on a second different rendering device; create a copy of said renderable user interface, said copy of said renderable user interface copy including said user interface component; modify said copy of said renderable user interface into a second renderable user interface, said second renderable user interface fitting specifications of said second different rendering device, modifying said renderable user interface copy comprising; determine that said user interface component is not compliant with said second different rendering device; and replace said user interface component in said copy of said renderable user interface with a second user interface component, said second different interface component fitting said specifications of said second different rendering device replacing said user interface component including; determine that said user interface component is associated with hidden data, said hidden data collapsed when said user interface component is rendered at said rendering device but displayable in response to user input selecting said user interface component at said rendering device; and modify said second user interface component so that said hidden data is exposed upon rendering said second user interface at said second different rendering device; and cause said second renderable user interface to be rendered on said second different rendering device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
