!Address0 component

The !Address0 application provides a somewhat different user interface than the previous desribed components.
!Address0 main window

Except for the "Type" Stringset window gadget, which serves to select the kind of association (eg. home or office), changes of other window gadgets are done by dragging'n dropping from other applications' windows (per the special icon sprites named respectively "AdB" and "AdG")
To display and/or change the reffered data in the window (that is data managed by the !AddressB and !AddressG applications), the user can click on the "Details" action button respectively inside the "Identity" and "Geographic location" gadget groups;
Except for the ID fields, the displayed data field in the "Identity" and "Geographic location" gadget groups are built as a result of a message passing between the !Address0 application and one of the !AddressB/!AddressG applications. In case any of the latter applications is currently unreachable, then a mention like "Unreachable" is displayed instead in the relevant display fields.
The !Address0 application provides some checking facilities activated upon inserting a new entry in the database which already "exists":
- An exact duplicate is a data set for which an equivalent entry already exists in the database (based upon the comparison of every attribute from ID identity, Address ID and type of association);
- A partial duplicate is a data set for which a line already exist in the database with the same Identity and Geographic location IDs but not with the same type of assosiation.
At any time the application behaves as if the rule to apply upon a partial duplicate insert occurence is as most as strict as upon an exact duplicate insert occurence.
