Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
AppBuilder

> ## Widgets

> The word widget is a synonym for thing or item; it is a generic reference. In recent years, widget has become a widely used term among programmers for a user-interface element. The 4GL follows this convention.

> In its role as a WYSIWYG layout editor, AppBuilder provides a design-time user-interface element even for objects that are neither part of the run-time user interface nor even visible at run time. In this guide, therefore, the term widget will be used freely as a synonym for object or building-block, regardless of whether it is a widget in the 4GL sense of the term.
