Control Variables

Each toolbar element can have an associated value. This value can be referenced through a variable and used in functions, captions, tooltips etc.

%VARIABLE%

• The variable name is the id of the control.
  
• A control must have a unique id= parameter if you wish to access o set its value.
  
• Variables in URL strings are automatically URL Encoded. A URL string is a string that begins with a
  http:// or https// prefix. This can be disabled by using the %VARIABLE(NONE)% syntax to specify no encoding.
  
• To force URL encoding on a variable, use the underscore(_) prefix.
  
• To force URL encoding on a variable, use the unrescore(_) prefix. Examle: %_VARIABLE%.
  
• To encode a variable in UTF8, use the format: %VARIABLE(UTF8)%.
  
• To reference control captions, use the format %VARIABLE(CAPTION)%
  

<xml id="toolbar">
<toolbar caption="Variables Example">
<control type="toolbar">
<button id=button1 caption="Button 1" value="This is button1 value."></button>
<button id=button2 caption="Button 2" tooltip="%BUTTON1%></button>
</control>
</toolbar>
</xml>



In the above example, a toolbar is created with two buttons. Moving your mouse over the second button displays a tooltip. The tooltip uses the %BUTTON1% variable.

The %VARIABLE(CAPTION)% syntax is supported from version 2.4.1
