About the NewtApp Framework

The Entry View Protos

4

The entry view is the focal point for operations that happen on one soup entry
frame at a time. These include functions such as displaying and updating data
stored in the entry’s slots.

The NewtApp framework has three entry view protos:

newtEntryView

,

newtRollEntryView

, and

newtFalseEntryView

. The

newtEntryView

and

newtRollEntryView

protos are used within a NewtApp application, while

the

newtFalseEntryView

and

newtRollEntryView

protos allows you to use

the framework’s slot views in an application that is not based on the NewtApp
framework.

The entry view also contains the user interface components that perform operations
on one entry at a time. These components include the header bars, which are used
as divider bars to separate multiple entries displayed simultaneously. This behavior
happens in the Notes application. An example of the Notes application with multiple
entries and header bars is shown in Figure 4-4.
