public class FrameWindowApplicationModel

extends ApplicationModel

An application model which supports frame window views.

Frame windows usually have a title bar containing a title reflecting the application name and the application subject (e.g., a document or other content stored in a backing file), along with an icon representing the application.

Applications which operate on subject content should provide a description of the current subject. The subject description should be updated whenever the subject is changed. Applications which operate on a fixed subject need not (and perhaps should not) provide a subject description.
