Hi Doug,

The form in focus has a FormModels.Model as a model
(Controllers.Focus***).

You probably know the position of the view you want in the form, then just
use the FormModels.Model.ViewAt(x, y): View.
This gets you your TextViews.View, and the text model via
view.ThisModel().

Even if you dont know the position, a straightforward solution of
course exists within BB, but is a bit more complex. I hope this is not
your case :-)

cheers
fyodor
