Data persistance & Native UI

I have a non-game app I would like to develop and want to use native UI. It is a database app where the user would record their interaction with patients. So my question is Does Gideros support native UI, like text box entry, and date selectors that can be used to save data to a CoreData database or SQLite3 database?

I'm working on a CoreData plugin, but I can't promise when that will be finished. I could release a work in progress sometime this week, if you want to check it out.
UIKit is being discussed here:
http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/578/uikit-plugin-example
and is available here:
https://github.com/carolight/MHUIKit
Its main limitation is not having subview hierarchies, but you can add text boxes to the Gideros root view. evs has done a simple picker, which has been merged into the above UIKit plugin. And of course, once you have looked at how the plugin code is structured, it is fairly easy to add any properties or methods or even controls that are not included.
If you are new to plugins, you can find the basics here:
