Architectural Details

Implementation Recommendations

• Could be derived from a GtkHBox
• In View Mode, the actual phone number is shown using a GtkLabel
• In Edit Mode, the actual phone number is shown using a GtkEntry

Cross-Widget Interactions

(TBD)

Unresolved Issues

• How do we want to handle Custom types?
• We are going to need to have a few non-removable fields. Otherwise, with this interface there is no way to (say) add another phone number, if there is only one, and it's removed.
