Widget Reference: Dynamic Server Pages

Widgets in dynamic server pages (DSPs) determine the appearance and behavior of fields, labels, occurrences, and entities displayed in the client browser.

Uniface provides a set of physical widgets, which are used to generate HTML controls in the DSP, and a larger set of logical widgets, which map to the physical widgets and set some of their properties. For more information, see Widgets for Dynamic Server Pages and Widget Properties for the Dynamic Server Page.
