Techniques are described herein that are capable of causing a user device to generate native user interface content for a native application that executes on a server. A native user interface of the native application is caused to be rendered on the user device by providing a user interface rendering instruction in lieu of content of a native interface element from the server to the user device. The user interface rendering instruction instructs the user device to generate the content of the native interface element and to incorporate the content of the native interface element into the native user interface.

Causing a user device to generate native user interface content for a native application that executes on a server

A selection component that facilitates selection of user interface items. Upon receiving a user interface item identification from a data model component, the selection component determines a selection state of the identified user interface item using maintained selection state. The selection component then propagates the selection state in two directions. In one direction, the selection component notifies the identified user interface item of the selection state so that the user interface item may visualize its selection state. In the other direction, the selection component notifies an action module of the selection state of the user interface item so that the action module may take further action external to the user interface item based on the selection state. For instance, the action module might create a new user interface element.

Composable selection model through reusable component

A model for displaying multiple user interface elements such that each control includes a container that includes standard functionality across at least a majority of the user interface elements. For instance, such standard functionality might include a part status indication, a title, a content status indication, a command invocation function, a part resizing function, and so forth. The model may also provide for standardization of resizing of user interface elements. For a given user interface element, there would be a predetermined number of possible size and shapes, each corresponding to a different projection of data. For instance, all of the user interface elements on a screen may fall within the predetermined number of possible size and shapes, thereby allowing more functional layout of the user interface on the display.
