Supervising activations states in application sharing

摘要

In application sharing, an activation message to one of an application-sharing application and a shared application is monitored. One or both of the application-sharing application and the shared application are supervised by the application-sharing application based on the activation message. In an embodiment, where the activation message calls for one of an activation or deactivation of the shared application, the application-sharing application respectively renders at least a portion of its own graphical user interface in an active or inactive color. An embodiment further prevents deactivation of an application when the activation message is for an activation of the application-sharing application.
