The objective of this guide is to explain when it is appropriate to use a custom widget to present the content of a UIM page and to show how to develop such a widget and integrate it into the application.
The text within the images used throughout this guide are intentionally blurred because we are only concerned with the high level details of these widgets. Each number in an image maps to a specific detail in a widget. A list is given below each image to explain its details by referring those numbers.
The objective of this chapter is to explain briefly what widgets are, what can be achieved through the customization of widgets and how the rest of this guide is structured to aid the developer in the task of developing custom widgets.
