Abstract
An application object framework provides a GUI developer with application object metadata that can be leveraged to design and implement GUI controls in an efficient, standardized, straightforward manner. For example, a smart control interface may be utilized that enables linking of a particular GUI control with a corresponding application object, including linking to the application data and logic, through the use of metadata of the corresponding application object. In this way, validations and GUI logic required by the GUI control may be provided automatically, leaving the GUI developer the freedom to focus on the visual composition, functionality, and other desired aspects of the GUI controls.
