Field Guide · Reference · Presentation XML controls

Every MAS 9.2 presentation control, every property, from the product itself.

126 controls and 764 properties, checked against the MAS 9.2 data dictionary: the CTRL_* objects behind each Application Designer property sheet (type, length, label, value list), the Designer's own dialogs (which tab, which lookup) and the 204 stock presentations (how often each property is used, with what values, and a real example per control).

Containers

• Page <page> — The single page of a presentation; holds the client area and the shared header and footer includes.
• Presentation <presentation> — The root of every screen: names the application, its main object and its application bean; everything else sits inside it.
