| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6185728 | Development system with methods for type-safe delegation of object events to event handlers of other objects A visual development system is described which provide "method pointers" allowing a developer/user to achieve delegation between objects programmatically as well as visually. Delegation "binds" an event source with an event handler. This binding is direct... | 02/06/2001 |
| 6151703 | Development system with methods for just-in-time compilation of programs A development system having a client which employs a virtual machine for executing programs written in the Java programming language is described. The client executes a "compiled" (i.e., bytecode or pseudo-compiled) Java program, which has been created by... | 11/21/2000 |
| 6151602 | Database system with methods providing a platform-independent self-describing data packet for transmitting information A three-tier data processing system of the present invention includes a client application, operating on a client machine (i.e., first tier), which obtains data from a back-end data source (e.g., database server) by submitting a request (e.g., SQL query) ... | 11/21/2000 |
| 6104325 | System and methods for compressing user settings based on default values An electronic spreadsheet system of the present invention includes a notebook interface having a plurality of notebook pages, each of which may contain a spread of information cells, or other desired page type (e.g., Graphs page). Methods are provided for... | 08/15/2000 |
| 6026235 | System and methods for monitoring functions in natively compiled software programs A development system having a monitor/profiler tool for monitoring functions in natively compiled software programs is described. According to the present invention, the monitor/profiler tool is constructed to work directly on a natively compiled software... | 02/15/2000 |
| 6014138 | Development system with methods for improved visual programming with hierarchical object explorer A system of the present invention includes a relational database management system (RDBMS), having an object-based, interactive visual-programming language providing programming by "visual inheritance." A user places screen objects (e.g., boxes, screen bu... | 01/11/2000 |
| 6005570 | Graphical user interface system and methods for improved user feedback Graphical user interface system and methods for providing "hints" for screen objects of interest, particularly user interface elements which rely upon multitudes of iconic (bitmap image) indicia. The interface includes a static (status) frame or window po... | 12/21/1999 |
| 6002867 | Development system with methods providing visual form inheritance A visual development system is described which allows a user to derive forms from other "ancestor" forms, inheriting their components, properties, and code as a starting point for one's own forms. During system operation, the user selects an "Inherit" men... | 12/14/1999 |
| 5995756 | System for internet-based delivery of computer applications A development system is described which provides a form-based development environment for partitioning an application such that it can be seamlessly integrated into corporate Webs (i.e., "intranets"). A form is implemented as an "application page" and pub... | 11/30/1999 |
| 5991776 | Database system with improved methods for storing free-form data objects of data records A system of the present invention includes a relational database management system (RDBMS). Methods are described for maintaining integrity between "design documents," which may be creating under different operating systems, and one or more information ta... | 11/23/1999 |
| 5991538 | System for generating and using programs in an object-oriented environment with a message dispatch architecture An object-oriented development system of the present invention includes a development system, which may include, among other features, a compiler, a linker, standard libraries, class libraries, and a debugger. Methods of the present invention include cons... | 11/23/1999 |
| 5978585 | Development system with improved methods for recompiling dependent code modules A development system providing methodology for improving system performance by decreasing recompilation of dependent source modules is described. During operation, the system keeps track of several pieces of information. From the outset, the system has ke... | 11/02/1999 |
| 5913032 | System and methods for automatically distributing a particular shared data object through electronic mail A computer system having a facility for concurrently sharing objects or resources is described. The system includes a publish-and-subscribe facility or "Object Exchange," for facilitating sharing among workgroups. When a data object is "published" by a us... | 06/15/1999 |
| 5911070 | Development system with methods for bi-directional application program code generation Development system with visual designer tools (Designers) are described for generating and modifying program code. During system operation, a user employs the Designers to visually create an application program and generate a source file. Moreover, the us... | 06/08/1999 |
| 5909580 | Development system and methods with direct compiler support for detecting invalid use and management of resources and memory at runtime A development system having a compiler, a linker, and an interface for detecting invalid use of resource is generated. When the system is (optionally) operating in a "code guarded" mode, the linker links the object modules with a CodeGuard.RTM. Library to... | 06/01/1999 |
| 5907709 | Development system with methods for detecting invalid use and management of resources and memory at runtime A development system having a compiler, a linker, and an interface is generated. When the system is (optionally) operating in a "code guarded" mode, the linker links the object modules with a CodeGuard™ Library to generate "code guarded" program(s). The... | 05/25/1999 |
