help on document/view design.

Dear All,

I am learning the document/view design. The document stores data and
provides GUI-independent operations upon it; while the views display
and manipulate the data.

Assume I have several objects to display in the view. And I can hide
some objects in the view.

My question is that: May I need to store the hide status of an object
in the document? If I store them, when on updating the view by the
document, I can still hide those that are asked to hide before. But
accoding my understanding, the hide status is GUI-dependent, and it
will spoil the original intention of separation of document and view.

Anybody can give me some suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

It's very difficult to understand you but if I get your meaning you may
be served by using several views governed by a mediator.

I don't see any need to do this. All the GUI toolkits I've worked with
support some sort of hide() operation for widgets.

If I store them, when on updating the view by the
document, I can still hide those that are asked to hide before. But

It sure would violate the document/view separation to store view
information within the document.

I've got a script that I'm trying to debug which uses document.write() to place HTML within a page. In both IE6 and Firefox when I view source, I see only the script itself and not any HTML as it's being written into the page. Is there a way that I can view what is being placed into the page, instead of, or in addition to the javascript code?

Hi, After some years programming libraries and web based applications I'm trying to program my first not-silly windows application (something similar to an editor but just to annotate text lines). After some trials just putting some code directly at the control events I tried to refactorize a little. But after read some documents on CMV (Controller-Model-Viewer) pattern I spent all this week trying unluckily to use it.

Hello All, I'd like your comments on the code below. The sub does exactly what I want it to do but I don't feel that it is solid as all. It seems like I'm using some VB6 code, .Net2003 code, and .Net2005 code. I'm developing in vb.net 2005. This test sub just reads an input text file, writing out records to another text file, eliminating records that have a '99' in them (it is similar to a CSV file). Some of my concerns are:
