WINDEV Mobile Concepts

Part 1: Main concepts 23 Control templates WINDEV Mobile allows you to create control templates. A control template is a set of controls that can be re-used in several windows. Changes made to a control template are automatically applied to all the windows that use the template. A control template is used to: • group a set of controls for a specific purpose. • make the controls independent of the host window. View of a control template. The template is bordered by an orange line in the editor. Template used in a window. Elements from the template have a blue border and are identified by a yellow square. A control template can be created: • via the icon in the quick access buttons. In the "New" window, click "Window" then "Control template". • from the controls in the window (select the controls and right-click, in the context menu that appears, select "Refactoring .. Create a control template from the selection"). To create a window based on a control template, create a "Control template" control. The characteristics of the elements can be dissociated from the template. For example, dissociate the position of a control from the template to move it elsewhere while keeping other changes (code, style, etc.). This is referred to as control inheritance . In this case, the elements are identified by a blue square.
