Abstract: Gadgets integrate with spreadsheets and the spreadsheet calculation engine. A gadget is bound to a range of cells (one or more) within a sheet. When one or more of the cells of the bound range is accessed (e.g. selected, hovered over, edited, deleted, added), the gadget is notified. The gadget may use this information for updating a display rendered by the gadget and/or performing some other action. The gadget uses an Application Programming Interface (API) to create the binding, communicate with the spreadsheet, and perform actions in the spreadsheet. The gadget is a Named Item object within the spreadsheet such that the gadget may be viewed/displayed differently from other objects. Out of date requests from the gadget are attempted to be detected and prevented from being processed such that the gadget is not acting on the latest data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for procuring functions, including Web service functions, for use in a spreadsheet application. A Web service function manifest can be managed by a function marketplace. A client device running a spreadsheet application can request available functions from the function marketplace. Information about available functions can be received by the client device. A selection of a function can be made in order to receive the manifest associated with the selected function. A local copy of the manifest may be stored for repeated invocation.
