Generic

Description

The Generic control is an HTML wrapper which you can use to create your own control or element. Using it will require some knowledge of HTML. Once you have set the options, the result will be a fully function AppStudio control.

All the usual events are supported.

To add a Generic control to your app, choose the Generic icon in the Toolbar, then position it on the Design Screen. Use the Property Editor to set the properties you need.

Properties

Standard properties are supported, plus:

attributes	A list of HTML attributes. To prevent jQuery Mobile from styling the element, use data-role=none. Attributes are separated by spaces.
class	Class is a special attribute, which defines the CSS which applies to the element. Class names are separated by spaces.
content	The text to use in between the HTML tags. Can be text or HTML.
HTMLTag	The HTML tag of the control. It is formatted <HTMLTag>content</HTMLTag>.
style	A list of style properties, each in the form styleName:value;

Examples

Change the color of a label

Generic1.style.color = "red"
