ABSTRACT:
A reusable script execution scheduling part for compound documents in a document-centric processing environment. Document-centric computing environments having architectures similar to OpenDoc.TM. include a technique for executing scripts to interact with the compound document content. The CHRON part of this invention includes embedded objects for defining scheduled execution times for one or more scripts that may be opened within the compound document to provide a view of its contents. Either the ScheduleTime element or the ScriptEvent element of the CHRON part may be opened and edited in place. The reusable CHRON part sets up event scheduling with the operating system so that specified scripts are run according to specified ScheduleTimes.
