Programmatic access to app functionality

[mfleming]

Greetings,

I'm trying to determine if I can access the functionality of one app from a program written for a user created app. As an example of what I'd like to do, I'd like to create my own app based on the Spreadsheet app, then invoke the plot capabilities of the Statistics 1Var app.

About as far as I've been able to get is to set up the data and configuration in the Statistics app using the appname.variablename convention. If I then override the Plot button and have the Plot() function call

STARTAPP("Statistics_1Var");
STARTVIEW(1);

I get the plot screen I hoped for. Unfortunately, I'm now in the Statistics app instead of my custom app!

Is there any way to get the equivalent of the STARTVIEW command for an app other than the current app or an alternate means of invoking the functionality of another app?

Many thanks,
~Mark
