Adding a new control to the canvas

  1. From the Designer canvas, click the Controls tab on the bottom-right pane

    Or

    Click the gear icon from the toolbar

    A dialog box for selecting and configuring controls opens.

    You can also right-click on the XAML editor and then click Insert Control. You are prompted to select the type of control from the context menus.

    Note: If you receive an error message, the reason could be that your cursor is positioned inside another control. Move your cursor so that it is outside a close bracket ("/>").
  2. Click the Built-in or Application tab to select the type of control you want to add.

    In general (but not in all cases), the Built-in tab is for controls that affect the look and feel of the mashup and for enabling user input. They are available to all Infor Mashup Designer users.

    The Application tab is, in general, for panels and other controls that perform an action that is available from an Infor product. Only users who have access to a specific product can create mashups based on the product.
