Binding models and forms

[bobpardoe]

What is the correct way of binding a model to a form's components (i.e. a text box) ?

I want to be able to set the bindings, populate the model and then have the components show the data from the model field to which they have been bound.

I am hoping this will be a two way binding so that the change in the component is pushed back into the model. I can then validate the model when the save button is tapped.

I have looked at all of the getting started guides and they all rely on the view instantiating a specific model instance and binding that instance to the form's fields but this is not what I am able (or want) to do.

Any help or guidance appreciated.

you can fill a form with model data with setRecord()

Thanks for the reply, but that method needs a model instance to populate with. Bindings should work without the need for a specific instance to be instantiated.
