The controls interface acts as a parent object for all controls on every page within a form. Individual controls are accessed using their control name e.g. controls.myControl.
It provides the ability to retrieve and set properties of a given control, this includes:
- Hide/Show e.g.
controls.myButton.hide(); and controls.myButton.isHidden();
- Display Only e.g.
controls.myRepeater.setDisplayOnly(true); and controls.myRepeater.isDisplayOnlyIncludingParents();
- CSS classes e.g.
controls.myPanel.addCssClass("myClass");
- CSS styles e.g.
controls.myPanel.borderStyle = "1px solid black";
- Modifiers e.g.
controls.myButton.hasModifier("on-success");
