The "Big picture" questions concern how these new notes interact with the existing card. Since there can be several different notes that can overlay on the card (albeit one at a time), it seems silly to have all these notes pre-created and invisible. So, the big question is, can we just have a note, then simply feed it the title and body when it is displayed?
You could enter the title and content of the notes into custom properties. These could be set either via the message box, since they would be static, or in an openstack (or some such) handler, and called when the user clicked on the activating button. However, if you only use one note with varying content from custom properties, you'll need the switch statement alluded to below either way. More experienced revers will likely chime in here.
Also, since the softkeys change, the behavior has to change for those
buttons. The "ButtonPress" message which I previously created was
handled at the card (specifically leftSoftkey and rightSoftkey). Since
that one card can either not be displaying a note, or have one of any
number of notes on top of it, does it seem sensible to create yet
another switch statement? The condition would have to check if a note
is visible. But the behavior can be different depending on which
note...maybe I should create the notes, have the behavior encapsulated
in that note (i.e. the field), and pass the ButtonPress message to the
note if there's one up?
Best, Dave
