Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for embedded application communication. In one aspect, a method includes providing a first Application Programming Interface (API) in the host application, where the first API is configured to interact with a virtual machine object model of the virtual machine to allow the host application to set and get properties of one or more first class instances residing in a virtual machine memory space, and to invoke methods on the first class instances, and providing a second API in the virtual machine configured to interact with a host application object model in the host application.

Embedded application communication

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products feature receiving, from a client application running in a virtual machine and displayed within a first window of a graphic display, a request to create a second window within the graphic display. In an example implementation, a first set of one or more parameters is received in association with the request. The request and some or all of the first set of one or more parameters are provided to a host application. An indication of a determination is received from the host application as to whether the second window has been created. The determination is based on a policy of the host application. The indication of the determination is provided to the client application. If the indication of the determination indicates that the second window has been created, the indication further includes an identifier associated with the second window.
