The control's template uses the X-Script language to initialize the control's content. Use the Template property page of the control to update the control's Template property. Use the Template property to execute code by passing instructions as a string ( template string ).

Most of our UI components provide a Template page that's accessible in design mode. The control's Template page helps user to initialize the control's look and feel in design mode. The Template page displays the control  on the left side of the page. On the right side of the Template page, a simple editor is displayed where user has to write the initialization code. The control's look and feel is automatically updated as soon as user types new instructions. The Template script is saved to container persistence ( when Apply button is pressed ), and it is executed when the control is initialized at runtime. The Template script is composed by lines of instructions. Instructions are separated by "\n\r" ( newline) characters.

An instruction can be one of the following:

• Dim list of variables Declares the variables. Multiple variables are separated by commas. ( Sample: Dim h, h1, h2 )
• variable = property( list of arguments ) Assigns the result of the property to a variable. The "variable" is the name of a declared variable. The "property" is the property name of the object in the context. The "list or arguments" may include variables or values separated by commas.  ( Sample: h = InsertItem(0,"New Child") )
• property( list of arguments ) = value Changes the property. The value can be a variable, a string, a number, a boolean value or a RGB value.
• method( list of arguments ) Invokes the method. The "list or arguments" may include variables or values separated by commas.
• { Beginning the object's context. The properties or methods called between { and } are related to the last object returned by the property prior to { declaration.
• } Ending the object's context
