Interface JvView

All Superinterfaces:

JvForm, JvJavaBean

All Known Implementing Classes:

JvAbstractView

public interface JvView
extends JvForm

Formalization of the View component of the Model-View-Controller paradigm. A JvView is typically displayed within a JvApplication. Extending JvForm, a JvView has all the properties and behavior of a form. It adds a view specific, menu bar, tool bar, and status bar. When the view is active, its enclosing JvApplication will display the view's menu bar, tool bar, and status bar.
