Following the advice of several of you on here (Thank You All!) I've
successfully constructed a Model-View-Controller (MVC) implementation. It
works great! Now, whenever the user manipulates one of the standard controls
- ie. clicks a checkbox, selects a radio button, changes text in a textbox,
etc. - the corresponding Property values in the Model are automatically and
instantly changed!
But I do have a question. When a radio button is pressed or a checkbox is
checked or unchecked it makes complete sense to instantly reflect the change
in the Model. But I'm not so sure whether I should be making these same
"instant" changes with each character change of the TextBox. Should I or
should I just wait until the user exits the textbox?
I realize that an instant response is "it all depends" but I'd like to get
feedback from developers who have had a similar circumstance before and am
wondering how they handled it.
