The framework supplies implementations of the New and Open commands (among others) on the File menu. Creation of a new document and its associated view and frame window is a cooperative effort among the application object, a document template, the newly created document, and the newly created frame window. The following table summarizes which objects create what.
Object Creators
| Creator | Creates |
|---|---|
| Application object | Document template |
| Document template | Document |
| Document template | Frame window |
| Frame window | View |
