Optional resource file statements

The resource file statements documented in the following statements are optional: you only need to create resource file statements for the UI components used by your application for which you do not use the default implementation.

For more information on resource statements for these components, see:

• Status pane resource statements

• CBA buttons

• Menu bar resource statements

• View resource statements in S60 view architecture

• Avkon controls

  Building an Avkon-based application UI is a primary choice for third-party add-on applications that do not need advanced customization. Such an approach guarantees compatibility across different Series 60 Developer Platform editions, but, in turn, puts some limitations on the application UI layout imposed by Avkon. Avkon provides a wide choice of well-designed and versatile components, but not all of these are easily modifiable.

  Note: Avkon or Avkon-derived components should be favoured over custom CCoeControl-derived controls. Avkon UI components scale automatically according to screen resolution and orientation.
