+<p>The Symbian platform provides AVKON controls, which are a convenient
+set of UI components designed specifically for devices based on the Symbian
+platform.</p>
+<p>Commonly used AVKON controls include:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Dialogs_API_Specification/Dialogs_API_Specification.html" scope="external">dialogs</xref> </p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Editors_API_Specification/Editors_API_Specification.html" scope="external">editors</xref></p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Form_API_Specification/Form_API_Specification.html" scope="external">forms</xref> </p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Grids_API_Specification/Grids_API_Specification.html" scope="external">grids</xref></p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Lists_API_Specification/Lists_API_Specification.html" scope="external">lists</xref> </p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Notes_API_Specification/Notes_API_Specification.html" scope="external">notes</xref></p>
+</li>
+<li><p><xref format="html" href="specs/guides/Popups_API_Specification/Popups_API_Specification.html" scope="external">pop-up
+lists</xref> </p></li>
+<li><p>queries </p></li>
+<li><p><xref href="specs/guides/Setting_Pages_API_Specification/Setting_Pages_API_Specification.html" scope="external">setting
+pages</xref></p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>All of the AVKON resources listed above, except dialogs, queries and
+notes, are non-window-owning controls. This means that they cannot exist on
+the screen without being inside another <xref href="GUID-5944FFF1-79C6-4F5E-95C8-F4833AFC64AB.dita">control</xref>.</p>
+<note>
+<p>Since AVKON UI resources scale automatically according to screen resolution
+and orientation, it is recommended that you consider using AVKON or AVKON-derived
+components in your application UI as they may require less implementation
+effort. Custom <xref href="GUID-B06F99BD-F032-3B87-AB26-5DD6EBE8C160.dita"><apiname>CCoeControl</apiname></xref>-derived controls may require
+additional efforts to support <xref href="GUID-B02C762B-C452-4184-ABEA-4753E6CD47D2.dita">scalability</xref> and <xref href="GUID-A1DBE03F-728E-4F31-BE74-5BDA3906C8DD.dita">themes</xref>.</p>
