Doc/View Objects Overview

ObjectWindows provides the Doc/View model as a way to contain and manipulate data.

The Doc/View model consists of three parts:

• Document objects, which can contain many different types of data and provide methods to access that data.
• View objects, which form an interface between a document object and the user interface and control how the data is displayed and how the user can interact with the data.
• An application-wide document manager that maintains and coordinates document objects and the corresponding view objects.
