Abstract
Computer user interface screen layouts may be converted into an Extensible Markup Language (“XML”) string, and recreated later (or elsewhere) by processing the XML string. Software to identify software components associated with user interface features, to create a static data structure describing the state of those software components, and to recreate the user interface features by reproducing the software component states is also described and claimed.
