ABSTRACT:
A system that facilitates menu management in an OLE document environment. The system includes a menu component that receives a server menu of a server application with a container menu of a container application. The menu component detects a menu conflict between the menus. The system further includes a conflict component that resolves the conflict between a server menu item of the server menu and a container menu item of the container menu, wherein at least one of the server menu item and the container menu item is modified to be unique from the other. The conflict component then outputs the integrated final menu.
