A self-contained demonstration that demonstrates the functionality of an application module. More specifically, the functionality of the application module with respect to information within an external information source that is located remotely from the application module may be demonstrated. In some instances, the components of a system providing the self-contained demonstration may be installed and executed on a single device, while the external information source would be located remotely and externally from the single device. In order to demonstrate the functionality of the application module, the self-contained demonstration may enable the application module to interact with a local information source in substantially the same manner as the application module would interact with an external information source. The local information source may be installed locally on the single device, and may be a scaled-down version of an external information source.

System and method that provide a self-contained demonstration

The invention provides systems and methods for developing multi-platform graphical user interface (GUI) for a target software application. In invention includes assessing one or more functional requirements of the target software application and defining a functional specification for the multi-platform GUI using the assessed functional requirements. The functional specification is used to develop source code for the graphical user interface. An abstraction framework that evaluates functions of the GUI source code and provides instruction to perform the functions in each of the plurality of operating environments is then developed and used as an intermediary between the GUI source code and each of the plurality of operating environments.

Multi-platform graphical user interface

A method for generating a web-enabled graphical user interface plug-in includes loading a resource script file for a windowed software application. At least one GUI plug-in is automatically generated based, at least in part, on the resource script file. Each GUI plug-in is operable to present at least a portion of the software application in a web-enabled format.

System and method for generating a web-enabled graphical user interface plug-in

A method for application text localization includes retrieving a format string using a string identifier supplied by an application. The format string defines a format of a text string. The method also includes generating the text string using the retrieved format string. In addition, the method includes communicating the generated text string to one or more destinations.
