An object oriented Explorer type environment including a first pane and a second pane, the first pane and second pane being linked such that one may interact with the first pane to call up data within the second pane, the environment comprising:
- a first pane including a plurality of objects, each object including a control object defined to call up a static method upon activation of the object, the static method calling up data in the second pane for viewing by an operator of the Explorer type environment.
A method for linking a first pane and a second pane within an Explorer type environment, comprising the following steps:
- defining at least one object within the first pane;
- creating a control object defined to call up a static method, the static method calling up data in the second pane for viewing by an operator of the Explorer type environment;
- assigning the control object to the at least one object, wherein the control object is defined to call up the static method upon activation of the object, the static method calling up data in the second pane for viewing by an operator of the Explorer type environment.
The method according to clam 25, wherein the second pane provides an operator with a list view control application.
