The display layouts are hierarchically organized. The layouts are built +using components called windows and panes.

Description

+
+ + + +

Screen

+

The screen is the topmost display component, corresponding to the +entire pixel area of the physical screen.

+
+ +

Window

+

A window is a component that has no parent except the screen. Typically, +a window fills up the entire screen, but there are also smaller (temporary) +windows that take up only a part of the screen, leaving other parts of the +screen visible around themselves. Each application runs in a window of its +own. Applications can also use other temporary windows.

+
+ +

Pane

+

A pane is a subcomponent of a window. A window may contain several +panes, and each pane may contain further sub-panes and so on. A bottom level +component that cannot have a sub-component can be called an element.

+
+ +

Application window

+

An application window is a principal window filling up the entire +screen. It is usually not used directly for display, but just as a parent +for the various panes. A typical application window is divided into the following +panes:

    +
  • Status pane

  • +
  • Main pane

  • +
  • Control pane

  • +
See Main pane , Status pane and Control pane for more +detailed descriptions on each of these panes.

+
+ +

Pop-up window

+

A pop-up window must not fill the entire screen; the pop-up window +has a frame, and typically the underlying application is partly visible around +the pop-up window. Pop-up windows are typically used in temporary states. +Back stepping should not usually lead to a pop-up window. Detailed information +on the various pop-up windows can be found in Pop-up +windows.

Using +windows and panes in C++ applications

Windows and panes use the +Symbian application and UI frameworks. For implementation information, see Application and UI framework +implementation considerations.
