Web Items 

Definition

Web items are objects that either display data in a Web application, or are generally used to design Web applications. These objects are replaced by generated HTML during runtime. 

Web items that display data must be connected to a data provider.

All Web items have parameters (for example heading, width and height) that can be used to set the Web item appearance and its behavior in the Web application. You can change the parameters as follows:

●     For the design time in the Web Application Designer, using the parameter settings

●     For the runtime in Web applications, using the property dialogs of the Web item, or using commands from the Web Design API

If the data, the navigational status, or the parameters change, the HTML for the Web item is regenerated.
