Probably a better way of putting it, George, thanks. :-) I'm a bit verbose at times.

MVC doesn't mean the View can't talk to the Controller, it just means that you don't want the View and the Model communicating directly.

As you pointed out, the View has to tell something that the user has clicked/typed/interacted with the App! :)

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!
