+/** provides access to a form based filter for a database form
+
+ <p>In a form based filter, form controls bound to a searchable database field are replaced with a control
+ which allows entering a search expression. This so-called <em>predicate expression</em> is basically a part of an
+ SQL <code>WHERE</code> clause, but without the the part denoting the database column. For instance, if you
+ have a form control bound to a table column named <code>Name</code>, then entering the string
+ <q>LIKE '%Smith%'</q> effectively consitutes a SQL <code>WHERE</code> clause <code>"Name" LIKE '%Smith%'</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>In the actual document view, there are usually some relaxations to this. For instance, keywords such as
+ <code>LIKE</code> might be localized, according to OpenOffice.org's UI locale. Also, for an equality criterion,
+ the equality sign <code>=</code> is usually omitted. However, this interface here provides programmatic access
+ to the form based filter, so those relaxations are not considered here.</p>
+
+ <p>The filter maintained by a filter controller is, logically, a disjunctive normal form of an SQL <code>WHERE</code>
+ class. That is, it is a disjunction of <em>m</em> terms, where each term is a conjunction of <em>n</em> clauses
+ of the form <code>&lt;column&gt; &lt;predicate&gt; &lt;literal&gt;</code> or of the form <code><em>&lt;column&gt;
+ IS [NOT] NULL</em></code>.</p>
+
+ <p><em>n</em> equals the number of filter controls which the filter controller is responsible for. This number
+ doesn't change during one session of the form based filter. On the other hand, <em>m</em>, the number of disjunctive
+ terms, is dynamic.</p>
+
+ <a name="active_term"></a>
+ <p>With the above, there are potentially <em>m * n</em> <em>predicate expressions</em> (though usually only a fraction
+ of those will actually exist). Since in a form based filter, there are only <em>n</em> filter controls, and each
+ filter control displays exactly one <em>predicate expression</em>, this means that only a part of the complete
+ filter can be displayed, in particular, only one <em>disjunctive term</em> can be displayed at a time. Thus,
+ the filter controller knows the concept of an <em>active term</em>, denoted by the <member>ActiveTerm</member>
+ attribute, controls which of the terms is currently displayed in the form controls.</p>

+/** specifies a component controlling the interaction between the user and form functionality.
+
+ <p>As soon as a form (containing controls) is to be presented to the user,
+ there is a need for an instance controlling the user interaction.<br/>
+ Such a <code>FormController</code> is responsible for dialog processing,
+ like controlling the tab order and the grouping of controls.</p>
+
+ <p>As a form may contain one or many subforms, a <type>FormController</type> may
+ contain one or more other <type>FormController</type>s, so the form model structure or hierarchy
+ is reflected in the structure of <type>FormController</type>s. That is, retrieving the parent of
+ the model of a controller will give you the same object as retrieving the model of the parent of
+ the controller. Similarly, retrieving the model of the <code>n</code><sup>th</sup> child of
+ a controller gives you the same object as retrieving the <code>n</code><sup>th</sup> child of
+ the model of the controller.</p>
+
+ <p>A controller is called <em>active</em> if one of the controls it is responsible for has the focus,
+ else inactive. To be notified whenever this activation state of a given controller changes, you can
+ add listeners.</p>
+
+ <p>This interface supersedes the <type scope="com::sun::star::form">FormController</type>.</p>
+
+ <h3>Responsibilities</h3>
+ <p>A <type>FormController</type> is responsible for a <type scope="com::sun::star::awt">UnoControlContainer</type>,
+ and all controls therein.</p>
+
+ <p>Furthermore, a form controller is responsible for preventing invalid user input. That is, if the form
+ contains controls bound to a database, or to an external validator, then the form controller will
+ check their current value when the current record is to be saved to the database.</p>
+
+ <p>First, it will check whether any controls with an external validator exist. If so, those validators
+ will be asked to validate the current control content. If this fails, the message provided by the validator
+ is displayed to the user, the control is focused, and the update of the record is vetoed.</p>
+
+ <p>Second, the controls are examined for NULL values. If a control is bound to a database field which
+ is declared to be <code>NOT NULL</code>, no auto-increment field, but still <NULL/>, then an error
+ message is shown to the user saying that input is required, the respective control is focused, and
+ the update of the record is vetoed.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that you can precent the second check - for database fields containing <NULL/> values - on
+ a per-form and a per-database basis.<br/>
+ For the former, you need to add a boolean property <code>FormsCheckRequiredFields</code> to the form
+ (aka the <code>FormController</code>'s model), using its
+ <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">XPropertyContainer::addProperty</member> method, with a value
+ of <FALSE/>.<br/>
+ For the latter, you need to set the respective property of the data source's <code>Settings</code>
+ (also named <code>FormsCheckRequiredFields</code>) to <FALSE/>.</p>
+
+ <p>Alternatively, you can prevent the check on a per-control basis, using the
+ <member>DataAwareControlModel::InputRequired</member> property of a single control model.</p>
+
+ <p>If a control which the controller is responsible for supports the <type scope="com::sun::star::frame">XDispatchProviderInterception</type>
+ interface, the controller registers a dispatch interceptor. Then, the control can try to delegate part of its
+ functionality to the controller by querying the dispatch interceptor for it.</p>
+
+ <p>Below, there's a list of URLs which have a defined meaning - if an implementation supports one of them,
+ there must be a guaranteed semantices. However, concrete implementations may support an arbitrary sub or super
+ set of these URLs.</p>
+
+ <p>In general, all URLs start with the same prefix, namely <em>.uno:FormController/</em>. To this, a suffix is
+ appended which describes the requested functionality.<br/>
+ Example: The URL suffix for deleting the current record is <em>deleteRecord</em>, so the complete URL for
+ requesting a dispatcher for this functionality is <em>.uno:FormController/deleteRecord</em>.</p>
+
+ <p>Some URLs may require parameters. For this, the sequence of <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyValue</type>s
+ passed to the <member scope="com::sun::star::frame">XDispatch::dispatch</member> call is used - every property value is
+ used as one named parameter.</p>
+
+ <p>For all URLs, interested parties can register as status listeners (<type scope="com::sun::star::frame">XStatusListener</type>)
+ at the dispatchers, and be notified whenever the functionality associated with the URL becomes enabled or
+ disabled.<br/>
+ For instance, the URL with the suffix <em>moveToFirst</em> is associated with moving the form to the first
+ record, and it will be disabled in case the form is already positioned on the first record.</p>
+
+ <table style="width:100%;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody>
+
+ <tr style="vertical-align: top;">
+ <td><b>URL suffix</b></td>
+ <td><b>functionality</b></td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr style="vertical-align: top;">
+ <td><em>positionForm</em></td>
+ <td>positions the form on a record given by absolute number.<br/>
+ There's one parameter for this functionality, named <em>Position</em>, which must be a long
+ value specifying the absolute position to which the form should be moved</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr style="vertical-align: top;">
+ <td><em>RecordCount</em></td>
+ <td>This is a passive functionality: It cannot be dispatched, instead, interested parties may
+ use the dispatcher to add as <type scope="com::sun::star::frame">XStatusListener</type>, and be
+ notified when the record count changes.<br/>
+ The status value which is being notified (<member scope="com::sun::star::frame">FeatureStateEvent::State</member>)
+ is a string which can be used to display the record count. In particular, if the record count is not yet known
+ (<member scope="com::sun::star::sdb">RowSet::IsRowCountFinal</member> is <FALSE/>), this is indicated in the
+ string, too.</td>
