In a WoW [[UI Customization]] context, a '''widget''' refers to a (usually visible) component of the user interface, such as a "Frame", "Button", "EditBox", etc. Widgets can be created through [[XML]] (using WoW's [[FrameXML]] facility, see [[XML UI]]), or via the [[API CreateFrame|CreateFrame]]() API, and further be controlled run-time with functions in the [[Widget API]] and the [[WoW API]] proper.
