Custom widgets
If you feel you need a widget that is not provided out-of-the-box, no problem! The Mendix Webclient comes with a sophisticated plug-in infrastructure, that lets you build your own custom widgets.
Databinding
The Rich Forms DSL is fully integrated with the Domain Model DSL. Using a drag & drop connector attributes can easily be connected to a widget.
Conditional formatting
Mendix is equipped with advanced conditional formatting features, meaning the lay-out and behavior of the form is dependent on certain values selected by the user. For example, certain datafields can be made invisible or read-only, based on certain values in a drop-down box.
Theming
With Mendix it is easy to integrate your application into your corporate branding using themes. With a theme, your own look & feel can be applied to any Mendix application using your own CSS. It is even possible to switch themes runtime, or use different themes based on the current user.
Internationalization
Mendix supports advanced internationalization and translation features. Each form can easily be translated and displayed in any language. Mendix even supports right-to-left interfaces. Click here for more info.
