Detailed Description

Base class for controllers of the graphical application.

\ Define : ControllerBase, ListController and ControllerFrame.

Implement a recursive design for controller, with a list of sub-controllers.\ Like a composite frame, could find a specific controller through the hierarchy.

The list is implemented as a template to allow either specific or base class controller management.\ Use multiple inheritance for this.\ Really allow flexibility in this case because all final classes derive from a base class ControllerBase and can be stored in a stl:list or array, and still can be specialized to avoid (minimize) cast operation.

Todo:

Include observer pattern ( need test and is really necessary ?? )

Define a specialization for classes without sub-controllers. Will solve (minimize) problems with pure virtual functions of ControllerBase.

First test on 15/03/2013, seems promising design

Do not reference to Frame here, but could be associated to a base class View ( ROOT or other )
