I wonder what a frame does. Does it just pass a window reference on to the controller? Or, perhaps the controller says "Here's what needs to be drawn," and the frame issues the drawing commands. If that's what happens, perhaps the controller is operating-system-independent, and the frame is what gets changed for different operating systems.--[[User:Cking|Cking]] 22:09, 6 October 2008 (CEST) | I wonder what a frame does.

I wonder what a frame does. Does it just pass a window reference on to the controller? Or, perhaps the controller says "Here's what needs to be drawn," and the frame issues the drawing commands. If that's what happens, perhaps the controller is operating-system-independent, and the frame is what gets changed for different operating systems.--Cking 22:09, 6 October 2008 (CEST)
