Detailed Description

Links a dbField to a known control type or I/O mechanism.

Subclass to provide an interface between OOFILE and your own GUI control. Makes no assumptions about control class - controls do not have to be part of any existing view hierarchy. Maps all values to string or int to communicate with the field.

Note:

whilst we implement dbGUIAdapter subclasses to talk to controls and users will normally do so, it's a generic interface and could hide things like a serial port to a hardware button.

Todo:

map other binary types without going via string

generic Adapter optional overrides
virtual void	highlightContents ()
virtual void	readOnly (bool)
virtual void	setFieldLink (dbFieldLink *)
virtual bool	equalsString (const oofString &) const
virtual bool	adaptsControl (void *) const
Control Adapter overrides- defaults defined in terms of string methods
virtual int	getValue () const
virtual void	setValue (int)
virtual bool	equalsValue (int) const
