Is Creating a Custom Component and Custom UIComponent are same in Flex ??

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi ,

I am getting confusion in the terminology of words with respect to Custom Components .

Please let me know whether Creating a Custom Component and Custom UIComponent are same in Flex ??

Because i have created some Custom Components based on Form Container based on my business screens .

Does they both Custom Component and Custom UIComponent mean the same ??


Please tell me .

Thanks in advance

Yeah, roughly.

Thank you Paul.

Let me answer my question .


The UIComponent class is the base class for all visual components, both interactive and noninteractive.

For example

Form is from mx.containers. package

and Button is from mx.controls. package

Thanks .
