Re: [g-a-devel] RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY and RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Aaron,

A scrolling field is controlled by a scroll bar.  A text field with font
size is (or should be) controlled by the listbox of font sizes - see the
one in the GNOME standard font chooser.  A spreadsheet cell that is the
output of a function of other spreadsheet cells is controlled by them.

The first two examples you cite below wouldn't be controlling
situations.  The zoom, on the other hand, is an interesting question for
me.  I'd say controlling is appropriate there.
