Sorry, you have to provide the handlers to add, edit or delete objects.  In MasterDetailTabViewController (in IdeaBlade.Cab.UI), look at the method
 
ConfigureMasterViewContext()
 
You'll need to create handlers and register commands in much the same way in your ContactViewTabViewController.  Just walk thru the code to see how it's done.
 
The point of the command pattern is to decouple the source of the command's firing (button, menu item) from the actual command processing.  The view controller is where you "know" about how to create, edit and delete elements of your data mode.  You don't want to couple the general-purpose presenter or the ToolStripAdapter to this information.

I should create a new ControlViewTabViewController in the IdeaBlade.Cab.UI project under the TabViewController folder.  When I add a new control view to a tab controller, I would just add the view using this controller.  What I am trying not to do is have to create all of that add/edit/delete code every time I add a new view.
 
Please let me know if there are any gotchas for doing it this way.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable.  It'll probably be generic <boundType>.  Be sure to follow the template pattern so a specific TabViewController can override the Add, Delete and Edit methods.

Thanks for all of your help, Bill.  I am going to end this thread.  It is a bit long.  And, I think I can pursue other questions separately, now.  The new widget control view works quite well.

Can you supply your final findings and paths to final product. This thread was rather long and hard to keep track of what exactly was going on.

Hey Dan,
 
Certainly.  I am leaving for the day, so Monday I will try to put something together as a summary of this widget view creation.
 
Have a good weekend!
Bill
