Description:


needed sometimes, when a full application is embeded into an ExtendedComboBox
or subcanvas AND you want to avoid, that this application accesses the outer
application's aspects (by returning a private application instance).

Notice: you may have to manually set this view's application to be the embedded app
       (i.e. via #application:) unless it is set by #client:....

see self-embedding example in CodingExamples_GUI::GUIDemoExtendedComboBox


Instance protocol:

accessing
o  application
return the value of the instance variable 'application' (automatically generated)

o  application: something
set the value of the instance variable 'application' (automatically generated)

o  buildMenu: aBoolean
if true, the main menu is also built. Default is false

o  client: anApplication spec: aWindowSpecOrSpecSymbol builder: aBuilder

o  client: anApplication spec: aWindowSpecOrSpecSymbol builder: aBuilder withMenu: withMenu
(comment from inherited method)
release existing components and generate new components from
the given windowSpec, using the given builder.
ATTENTION: this is a low level interface.
TODO: this code is so ugly and badly designed - it must be redesigned
or at least well documented.

events
o  destroy

o  preRealize
(comment from inherited method)
invoked right before a view is realized.
Can be redefined in subclasses to perform delayed actions.

o  realize
(comment from inherited method)
realize - make visible;
realizing is done very late (after layout is fixed) to avoid
visible rearranging of windows on the screen

testing
o  isApplicationSubView
