Views


What are views

A view defines a visible area on the screen. It is the basic unit of user interaction. A view is responsible for drawing the users data and for handling of user input.

Note that all control tags inherit the attributes of the view tag.
<view> is just a "placeholder" for complex views, created by the application itself.


<view name="..." title="..." size="left,top,width,height" attach="..." tip="..." cursor="..."/>



Attributes:

name application-specific view name
It is the connection between user interface and program functions e.g. "Player:play", "Player:stop",...
title view title, visible to the user

If no size is specified, some controls (e.g. buttons) use their default size specified in scheme section, otherwise the view is resized to its content.
