    18 <p>To define specific GUI component resources for a view:</p>

    23 in your resource file. The <parmname>AVKON_VIEW</parmname> structure is defined

    24 in the <parmname>avkon.rh</parmname> file. The syntax is as follows:</p>

    25 <codeblock id="GUID-39D69E48-33FD-4B24-8969-AC6CA113ABF5" xml:space="preserve">RESOURCE AVKON_VIEW r_myapp_view1

    30 <p>where:</p>

    31 <ul>

    32 <li><p><parmname>r_myapp_view1</parmname> is a unique name for the

    33 resource declaration.</p></li>

    34 <li><p><parmname>menubar</parmname> defines the <xref href="GUID-5918ED8A-B26B-41A0-94A6-AB6D51BF80A1.dita">menubar</xref> resource.</p>

    35 </li>

    36 <li><p><parmname>cba</parmname> defines the <xref href="GUID-A4F3738C-CBFD-4151-9132-26FE05966715.dita">control

    37 pane</xref> resource.</p></li>

    38 </ul>

    39 <p>All values refer to other resources defined either in the resource file

    40 or to <xref href="GUID-CBB00F6A-CBA7-4872-B0A1-A86A863725F5.dita">precompiled values

    41 available from the Symbian platform</xref>. Note that if an element is not

    42 declared, then the default value declared in the structure is used. By default,

    43 all elements are not used.</p></li>

    44 <li id="GUID-28EA7785-EE88-4901-B525-DC864506FBC6"><p>Call the view

    45 resource in the UI implementation.</p></li>

    46 </ol>

    47 <note>

    48 <p>You can call <parmname>BaseConstructL()</parmname> without any parameters,

    49 in which case the default application menu and CBA are used for the view. </p>
