Window + FrameView - Can the codebase be simplified by having them share code?

See original GitHub issue

Why does Window have an embedded ContentView.

It seems like un-needed extra complexity.

Both are inherited from View, so both have the same capabilities.

The lifetime of contentView is the same as the Window.

Same question for FrameView.

What am I missing?

And, while I’m at it: What is the difference between Window and FrameView? They do exactly the same thing, as far as I can tell. And they look the same visibly. Why do both need to exist?

The PoC I show off in #547 proves (to me anyway) that it’s possible to get rid of the ContainerView classes in both Window and FrameView. In fact, it proves that FrameView can be deleted completely.

I still hate that Window and FrameView are basically the same but with different code. But it’s time to move on. Closing.
