Abstract:
A method for enabling view synchronization by a computer having a memory and an operating system, including a first view displayed in a first format on a first display device and a second view displayed in a second format different from the first format on a second display device, the first and second views being generated by an application program that processes data in response to device event signals, the method comprising the steps of:(a) providing class libraries for storage in the computer memory to (1) instantiate a model object to contain data that does not specify a display format; and (b) providing a run-time environment to (1) apply the device event signals to the model object to cause the model object to generate notification commands indicating data changes without sending copies of the data; (2) update the first view in response to the notification commands to display the data changes in the first format; and (3) update the second view in response to the notification commands to display the data changes in the second format.
