UX Controls

Description

The UX component contains a large number of different types of controls. Each of these controls comes with its own advantages as well as its own sets of properties. Some of these properties are shared across controls while others are specific to a given control type. This page contains links to the different groups of controls available in Alpha Anywhere as well as a link the Control Properties pages. If you are looking for guides on how to assemble working controls, populate controls with data, or see what a given property in a control's Properties list then this is a good place to start.
