Pre-built control library

The core of a ZoomFlex application is in the creation of server-side objects. These objects have properties (think of a database table with fields). For each property you can define a control that the user will interact with. For example you could have an email address field that stores its value in a string field in the database yet has email validation when the user interacts with it.

Pre-Built client-server controls

A key feature of ZoomFlex controls is that the client controls are bound to the server. For example the file upload control is integrated with the ShadoCMS document management system. This means you need no other code to upload and work with files from your Flex client. Here is list of some of the ZoomFlex controls.

Control	Description
String	Displays a text input control
Text	Displays a text area input
HTML	Displays an HTML WYWIWYG Editor
Calendar	Displays a date picker
Checkbox	Displays a checkbox
Object	Displays a dropdown (or filter) with the label value of another object
File	Displays a file upload control. Uploaded files are stored in Shado's server-side File Management System
Metadata	Displays a metadata picker control
Percentage	Displays a slider control with values from 0 to 100
Number	Displays a short text input box with numerical validation
Country	Displays a list of countries
Video	Display a .flv video file and stores the file on the server
Audio	Dislpay an audio control and stores the audio file on the server

Developers can easily create and use their own custom controls if required.
