Name of macro that is used for generating certain attributes of this component. Please pay attention: the value of this attribute is read one time for each control and cannot be changed afterwards.
The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.
Name that is assigned to the component at client side: there is no specific function associated with the name - but it can be used on client side to describe the component in a clearer way. The name is e.g. used by UI test tools that replay certain user interaction sequences - and that reference components via their name.
Comment that can be asigned to any component. The comment is not operationally used.

Configuration information that is attached to this component. This information is not functionally used by CaptainCasa, but may be used for any application specific purpose.
Semicolon separated sequence of style class names that are applied to this component.
Height of the control. Either defined as absolute value or as percentage value. Pay attention when using percentage sizing: the size refers to what is given from the components above. - When using components within a grid (FIXGRID) then the sizing of the component is completely managed by the grid, you do not need to specify any height in this case.
| 100 | 100 Pixels |
| 120 | 120 Pixels |
| 200 | 200 Pixels |
| 50% | 50 percents |
| 100% | Full available height |
Trigger value: if the value changes then the media player will pause.
Trigger value: if the value changes then the media player will play.

The attribute value must not be changed once the component is created.
| ref | One reference |
| ref1;ref2 | Two references |
| ref1;ref2;ref3 | Three references |

The attribute value must be an expression.
| true | Component is rendered (default) |
| false | Component is not rendered |
Trigger value: if the value changes then the media player will stop.
In CaptainCasa you can define styles definitions for components. A style definition is a definition of a set of default attribute values that are applied to the component. In case you want to differenciate between different usage types of the component you can apply multiple styles - and use the stylevariant attribute to select between.
Text that is shown as hint when the user stays with the mouse on top of the control for a while.
| ...anytext... | Text that is displayed as tooltip. |
| server:true | Indicator that tooltip for the component is managed on server side. The actionListener will be invokde with events BaseActionEventTooltipStarted and BaseActionEventTooltipEnde. On server side you may implement some modeless popup in order to show some more complex tooltip |
| server:true;closedelay:1000 | Duration in milliseconds (in this case: 1000ms) that the client waits before sending a close event to the server side |
| server:true;opendelay:1000 | Duration in milliseconds after which a tooltip event is triggered when the user moves the mouse on top of this component |
| server:true;keeppopup:true | If the server side processing opens up a modeless popup then this popup is NOT closed when the user moves the mouse into the popup |
URL that is loaded. Either an absolute address, or relative to the jsp starting page.
Width of the control. Either defined as absolute value or as percentage value. Pay attention when using percentage sizing: the size refers to what is given from the components above. - When using components within a grid (FIXGRID) then the sizing of the component is completely managed by the grid, you do not need to specify any width in this case.
| 100 | 100 Pixels |
| 120 | 120 Pixels |
| 200 | 200 Pixels |
| 50% | 50 percents |
