I have whipped up an attempt at a wrapper for text views that provides them
with the properties of a control: link, notifier and guard. It's not very
good yet, because I have no idea how linking the view to a program variable
should be done. My solution is to force the program variable to point to
the view in the form itself, which doesn't seem satisfactory to me. I tried
to copy the model back and forth, but that didn't work, no doubt due to
ignorance on my part. I don't suppose there is any better documentation for
this :-(
However, you can take a look at my efforts at
http://users.uniserve.com/~tisher/oberon.html
There's a stdcoded file there with the module Fields which provides the
wrapper view, and a test program and form that demonstrates it a little bit.
