Exontrol - PropertiesList ActiveX, NET Control

In design mode, user can add icons to the control using the control's Template page. No matter what programming language you are using, you can have a quick view of the component's features using the WYSWYG Template editor. It's a nice feature and we don't want you to miss it.

Place the control to your form or dialog.
Locate the Properties item, in the control's context menu, in design mode. If your environment doesn't provide a Properties item in the control's context menu, please try to locate in the Properties browser.
Click it, and locate the Template page.
Click the Help button. In the left side, you will see the component, in the right side, you will see a x-script code that calls methods and properties of the control.

The Template feature lets you to use a simple x-script language to call properties and methods of the control at design as well at runtime. You can use this feature to build x-script strings to pass them at runtime.

At runtime, the user can use the Images and ReplaceIcon method to change the Images collection. Use the HTMLName property to assign built-in HTML format to a property.

For instance, the following template sample adds three properties and assign an icon to each of them, using the <img> tag.
