This section describes controls grouped with common applications. They can be used by any mashup.

Control Description

Supported file types include .rtf, xps, xml and the common image types.

Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files are not supported.

Note: This control is not intended to display an .html page. Use the WebBrowser control for that purpose.
MashupInstance Add a link to an existing mashup to the current mashup.

If the mashup you are creating is fairly complex, you might use this control to break it up into several files to make each one easier to manage. After the additional files are created, you can add them through a link to your main mashup file.
MashupWebControl Use to launch web mashups controls when the mashup is deployed as a web mashup.

When you configure the control, you add Members and a Uri to each member.

Infor Lawson example: If you want to create a mashup that includes a call to Employee or Manager Self-Service applications, you would use this control.
