ABSTRACT:
Views and view controls are used to display and access data created from multiple applications. Namespaces, folders, items, views and view control objects are used to abstract the data type of the data, contained in items. Therefore, data can be displayed in multiple views and the same view can be used to display data independent of the data type. To display a view, a user selects a folder that contains items. A folder, item, view, and view control work together to define the fields and data to display and the format to display them. The user can generate many views by editing one view, thereby creating a new view. An edit interface is provided allowing the user to modify a view. Modifications include entering new data in a view, defining new fields, and entering calculations based on other data. A new view control can be installed by determining what information to pass, conforming to OLE standards and entering the view control in the operating system's database registry.
