service FormController in module com::sun::star::form:: |
service FormController;
specifies the view representation of a form.
Like controls, forms are divided into two parts. One is the model, which contains the information about the structure of the form and its components, and the other part is the FormController , which contains all controls (the view representation) related to the form. The FormController is responsible for dialog processing, like controlling the tab order and the grouping of controls.
As a form may contain one or many subforms, a FormController may contain one or many FormController s, so the model structure or hierarchy is reflected by the structure of FormController s.
