Abstract
A method for notifying a client application program of an event in a shared application program in a computer system is disclosed. A client application program executing in the computer system registers a callback function during startup. The shared application program senses the event and maps the event to one of a set of registered client application programs. The callback function of the appropriate client application program is then invoked such that the callback function passes parameters for the event to the client application program.
