I'm not sure I follow your question.
Do you mean with regard to the items contained in these controls?
I'm working with an iterator-like interface. You can add and remove,
the signals from user input return the iterator the item used. You
just need to dereference it to see what it was.
The MVC is implemented in cppgui as responses from signals. The
signals would then be executed in another object, which implements the
controller.
