Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with application virtualization and the possibilities of interaction between applications. Let's take Office 2010 and Visio 2010 for example where Office 2010 is installed locally and Visio is packaged with ThinApp. The capture process is done with Office locally present so Visio is able to interact with Office (for example from within Visio sent to e-mail recipient etc.).
The true challenge from my perspective is to be able to let the locally installed application (Office) interact with the virtualized (Visio). For example we would like to use the Visio Embedded objects from within Word documents. From my perspective I need to start a Word shortcut from within the bubble that starts a local Word. Now the local application needs to be able to "see" al virtualized component and vice versa.
Interaction from a virtualized application to a local application is well explained by all different articles, but I can't seem to find good information about interaction from local application to a virtualized application. I was hoping that you can give me more information about this functionalitity. Maybe it's just not possible, maybe I am not capable in searching for the right articles/information or I have to virtualize to local application also.
Hoping to hear from you.
Regards,
