IJSObject Interface

Overview

The IJSObject Interface represents a custom remotable object within the Thinfinity framework. As described in the documentation, it enables developers to “define an object model that is mirrored on the client side.”

Key Characteristics

Purpose: This interface facilitates communication between web browser clients and remote Windows applications by providing a synchronized object model.

Composition: An IJSObject can contain:

• Properties (via IJSProperties)
• Methods (via IJSMethods)
• Events (via IJSEvents)
• Child objects

Data Synchronization

The interface maintains bidirectional data flow: “Changes to properties values are propagated in from server to client and viceversa, keeping the data synchronized.”

Execution Model

• Methods: Called on the client side but execute on the server side
• Events: Triggered on the server side but raised on the client side
• Properties: Automatically synchronized across the network

Technical Details

• Interface ID: uuid(59342310-79A7-4B14-8B63-6DF05609AE30)
• Attributes: dual, oleautomation
• Base Class: IDispatch
• Definition File: VirtualUIX.ridl
• Library: Thinfinity Library

This design pattern provides a streamlined approach for connecting distributed application components while maintaining a consistent object model across both client and server environments.
