WPF DIFFERENCES PresenceManager not a container

Can organize with Stack Panel, set to Hidden

PresenceControlMonitors are bool properties

MonitorLocation, MonitorDirection, etc.

RelationControlMonitors are bool properties

MonitorPointing, MonitorCollision, etc.Must specify NameA and NameB

GUI-INDEPENDENT SUPPORT ProximityClientConnection PresenceBase for Presences

Space.GetPresence(“name”), .GetDisplay(“name”), .GetVolume(“name”), .GetDevice(“name”)

DataUpdating/DataUpdated eventsGetRelationInterface for types ILocatable,

IMovable, IOrientable, IDirectable, etc. RelationPair for Relations

Same Events as RelationControl, all Asynch
