If I read you right, yes, it is possible to make non-visual data objects. Your really just creating objects from the DataEnvironment. Non-Visual means it needs to be hand coded. The real power users go for this since, they say, that you get more control & power over/from the dataenvironment. I guess you call it OODE.
