A system and method of displaying data representing an object of a class where
the class has one or more attributes and each object has an attribute value associated
with each attribute. The invention includes a collection class such that each statistic
to be monitored is represented as an object of the class. The invention allows
a software application to access the objects in a database. The invention provides
a user interface (UI) attribute within the class that allows the user to specify
the UI to display the attribute values of each accessed object. Each available
UI is customized to a statistic to be monitored. Each available UI has a unique
user interface attribute value. The invention supports any number of UIs supplied
by the user, an application developer, or a third party.
