This is correct the Modell notifies the Controller or the other way
round the Controller queries the modell for needed input forwards it
to the Model get back the values from the Model and than updates the
View. This is the strict MVC model. I could imagine that there could
be some direct contact between Modell and View but hopefully just in
the way I've been updated. Look after it please.
