In [13], Ptak and Vrbova proved that if T is a bounded normal operator T on a complex Hilbert space H, then the ranges of the spectral projections can be represented in the form $$ \varepsilon(F)H = \bigcap_{\lambda\notinF} (T - \lambda I) H for all closed subsets F of C, $$ where $\varepsilon$ denotes the spectral measure associated with T.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space, $\mathfrak{A}$ a commutative complex Banach algebra with identity and $\mathfrak{C}(\mathfrak{A})$ the set of characters of $\mathfrak{A}$. In this note, we study the class of functions $f:K{\rightarrow}\mathfrak{A}$ such that ${\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}{\circ}f$ is continuous, where ${\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}$ denotes the Gelfand representation of $\mathfrak{A}$. The inclusion relations between this class, the class of continuous functions, the class of bounded functions and the class of weakly continuous functions relative to the weak topology ${\sigma}(\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{C}(\mathfrak{A}))$, are discussed. We also provide some results on its completeness under the norm defined by ${\mid}{\parallel}f{\parallel}{\mid}={\parallel}{\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}{\circ}f{\parallel}_{\infty}$.
