Managing Web User Control Assets

Web User Control Assets are files and other resources used to create a Web User Control. Web User Controls are specialized user controls that you can create to perform a wide variety of user interface functions, both in the Windows (smart) client and in the web client.

Web User Control Assets are managed using the “Edit Web User Control Assets” dialog box, which is accessible from the “Edit” menu in Design Mode. In this dialog box, you can perform these tasks:

• Import assets used to implement Web User Controls.

  See “Importing Web User Control Assets”.

• Create HTML pages and other resources that can be used to host and display Web User Controls.

  The “New” option launches a built-in HTML editor, the “Edit Browser File” dialog box, with the basic HTML framework already created. Any text resource (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, XML, etc.) can be created or edited using this built-in editor. In addition, if the content type is an image type, this dialog box can be used to import or export those images.

• Edit HTML pages and other resources that can be used to host and display Web User Controls.

  The “Edit” option launches the “Edit Browser File” dialog box, already populated with the data for the selected asset.

• Delete a selected asset.
• Copy a selected asset, which you can then modify for your own purposes.
