I.S,

That's an interesting reply, and I understand exactly your point of view.
However I too am currently pondering an MVC design, where I can't think of
any other way but by having the view maintain an instance variable of the
controller... let me explain.

My data contains a set of objects, which the view renders to the screen.
When the user clicks in the view, whichever object he clicked on becomes the
'current' object, and the controller needs to know which is the 'current'
object. How can you do that without the view telling the controller, and how
can the view tell the controller without either i)using a delegate, or
ii)maintain an instance variable and sending messages to the controller?

Maybe I just haven't grasped the full MVC picture yet, but I'm just a newbie
so willing to be shown the right direction!

-Kenny

Craig:

   I think what you really mean (or need to mean, anyway), is that
you want to have your view tell your controller to initiate the send
(likely of data in your model layer).
