+<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>dialogs </p></li>
+<li><p>editors</p></li>
+<li><p>forms </p></li>
+<li><p>grids</p></li>
+<li><p>lists </p></li>
+<li><p>notes</p></li>
+<li><p>pop-up lists </p></li>
+<li><p>queries </p></li>
+<li><p>setting pages</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="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/Control_Environment/CCoeControlClass.html" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>CCoeControl</parmname></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>
