[comp.lang.smalltalk] MVC on Smalltalk V?

tuck@iris.ucdavis.edu (Devon Tuck) (05/09/89)

I am doing some work on an "expert" technical document reader which
automatically categorizes and inputs data from context into a database.
This needs to be a heavily "windowed" environment, so I am working with
the Model View Controller (MVC) on Smalltalk-80.

My question is, what is digitalk's equivalent to the MVC?  Are there major
differences?  Can pluggable views still be implemented easily?

Thanks alot,

Smalltalk/V uses Model-Pane-Dispatcher instead of Model-View-Controller.

Look at pages 183-193 in the SmallTalk/V HandBook (IBM version).

Also look at the on-line code for browsers and inspectors.
