| Extended Controls 5/30/2008 | Extended controls are a few special purpose controls that are included with the Control Framework. These are probably not frequently used but can come in handy in many situations. |
| wwWebTabControl::OnClientActivate 5/30/2008 | Allows you to specify a JavaScript handler that is called when a page is activated. The handler is passed the tab index number. |
| Class wwWebTabControl 5/30/2008 | The wwWebTabControl is an easy to use TabStrip control that allows you to break large amounts of content into separate pages. The control works via client script to manage and activate specified HTML containers dynamically when a tab page is selected. To specify tab 'pages' that are to be activated on tab clicks you specify a client DOM id for the element to be shown or hidden appropriately. |
| How the wwWebTabControl works 5/30/2008 | The wwWebTabControl allows you to create large content on a single page and mange that input more efficiently via separate tab pages. This control works on the client side and simply allows you to enable and disable display of each of the page, but all content that loaded when the page initially starts. All content is live on the page. |
| Databinding Errors and the wwWebTabControl 5/30/2008 | When databinding errors display on controls that are on a tab page you have a special issue in that controls that have errors on them may not be visible. The error list shows links to activate the error controls, but clicking links will not do anything if the controls are hidden because the link sets focus, but takes no action to make the control visible. To work around this issue you can implement a JavaScript function OnBindingErrorLink to intercept link clicks and activate the appropriate page explicitly. |
| Class wwWebPage 5/30/2008 | The wwWebPage class is the top level container for a WebControl page. This container acts as the entry point for event processing and provides the HTML Document for page generation. |

| wwWebControl::ControlSourceUnbindExpression 5/30/2008 | This optional property allows you to explicitly specify a separate ControlSource expression for unbinding back into the underlying data source.
