Problem solved - graphics found! My Word-2003 has several views: Normal View, Web Layout View, Print Layout View, Outline View, and Reading Layout. I find that the default "Normal View" and "Outline View" displays the text only. Switching to one of "Web Layout", "Print Layout" or "Reading Layout" views will render the graphics.

I am viewing it with Word 2007, but it was created as a Word 2003 document file, so you should be able to read it. Possibly created by 2007 in compatibility mode and something not compatible?

Am I doing something wrong, or am I looking at an early copy? There graphical items that Jim refers to below, but I am not seeing them in the document. What I receive is Pk-EventListDesign.doc at a size of 161KB, and I am viewing it with Wood 2003.

My main comment concerns the last paragraph which I don't think captures the functionality we are trying to create. Here's that paragraph: The third list is the Search result. When the View's search button is selected, the Search function supplies the the search criteria to the View. The selected criteria are passed, via the Adapter , to the Search engine, which will find and copy those Events which match the search criteria into its own Eventlist which in turn is presented to the view for display. The Search.Eventlist is either empty or it contains the results of the last search. I think a difficulty with this is that we are still not yet talking about a functional unit we might call the 'core' of the application (maybe 'appCore'?) which is the only part of the application that knows about the other parts: the UI, the Data Model, the View,* the EventSource, the DataStore. Note that I list both UI and View; these are not the same thing. The View presents a 'view' of the data (in the Data Model) to the user; the View is only part of the UI. Using the idea of the 'core', the functionality described might be restated this way: When the UI's (not View's) search button is clicked, the core is notified. The core then call's into the Search subsystem to gather search criteria from the user. Then the core again calls into the search subsystem to do the actual search; it passes both the search criteria and the current list of events to search and gets back a list of Events that match the criteria. The list might be empty. (note: the Adapter is not involved in the search.) The core then passes the list of matching events to the UI to be displayed. Minor Points: I don't see what the floppy disk image is meant to convey in the boxes displaying the RSS reader and DataStore lists; these list are held in memory and not on disk. Also, the double arrow icon between these two boxes seems out of place. Finally, I vote to use the calendar icon (upper right in diagram) as the icon for the 'save to calendar' function; it's much more suggestive than the clock face. I hope this proves useful. Cheers, jim *The term 'View' in this context refers to the View in the Model/View/Controller (MVC) paradigm. This can be confusing because everything displayed on the phone's screen is an instance of the Android 'View' class (or some subclass thereof). That is, an 'android.view.View' class instance is used to display the MVC-View. _____ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:01:36 +0000 To: Cant_jim@xxxxxxxxxxx From: groupsupdates@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Updates in Your Groups, February 28, 2011 Updates in Your Groups <http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/updates-in-your-groups/> Beta <http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/updates-in-your-groups/> Learn more about the Update Email <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TSSG-Chelmsford/?prop=eupdate> TSSG-Chelmsford pkaufmann80 <http://profiles.yahoo.com/pkaufmann80> posted a file PK-EventBossDesign.doc <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TSSG-Chelmsford/files/?prop=eupdate> To learn more about Yahoo!'s use of personal information, including the use of <http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/webbeacons/details.html> web beacons in HTML-based email, please read our <http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/> Privacy Policy. <http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups> Visit Your Groups | <http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/> Yahoo!
