Detailed Description

A view represents a visual display or rendering of part or all of the data in a model.

Each view has a single model that it is associated with. Each view has a single control that it is associated with. A control may have more than one view if it's main view is implemented in such a way that it allows ofr multiple views. Unlike a control which gets OS events like mouse input and keyboard input and may be a wrapper for some underlying native control (like a edit box, or a tree control), a view is strictly for rendering the model associated with it.
