Various widgets History and use[edit] In the context of an application, a widget may be enabled or disabled at a given point in time. An enabled widget has the capacity to respond to events, such as keystrokes or mouse actions. A widget that cannot respond to such events is considered disabled. A related (but different) concept is the desktop widget, a small specialized GUI application that provides some visual information and/or easy access to frequently used functions such as clocks, calendars, news aggregators, calculators and desktop notes.
Etymology[edit] “Widget” entered American English around 1920 as a generic term for any useful device, particularly a product manufactured for sale. List of common generic widgets[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
