Abstract
A task-based sub-application surfaces only controls that are needed to perform a task, from a plurality of different forms in a parent application. A sub-application system runs the sub-application by executing navigation logic and maintaining a separate navigation stack, so that the user can perform a task without the computer system needing to surface entire forms where only a small subset of the controls on those forms are needed to perform the task.
