You have seen that, unlike visual development tools, the starting point for an CA Plex application design is a design model, not screen layouts. This is because design and modeling are the keys to building large-scale applications successfully. But, just like a visual programming tool, CA Plex provides an easy-to-use editor for designing graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It includes a rich set of native GUI controls plus the ability to use third-party components (ActiveX controls in Windows and JavaBeans in Java). There is another mode of editor that enables the character-based screens of an System i 5250 application to be designed in the same way.
