The Dynapage Generator has a number of controls which you can drag and drop onto your page, and set properties for them.

They are all based on the standard HTML controls, some having extra functionality added to them, to make web development more flexible and easier.

These are the controls and their descriptions, as listed below:

IMAGE	DESCRIPTION
	TextBox Control - used both for user entry, and displaying data returned from a database.
	Listbox Control  - used to show a list of values from a database. Allows multiple selection of values.
	Dropdown List - also like the listbox, this control is filled with values from a data source assigned to it. Single selection only.
	Checkbox Control - Single tickbox, can be used to set properties and values in a database.
	Submit Button - Used like a normal submit button. Can attach datasources to it to validate page data on a form.
	Hyperlink Control - Can either be hard-coded as a fixed hyperlink, or can be retrieved as a dynamic hyperlink, by returning a datasource value to it.
	Label Control - Rich text label control, allows you to manipulate the text, add tables, images and use it to design a look how you want. Also can be populated from database values.
	Password Control - Used for login screens, to hide the user's entry.
	TextArea Control  - multiple line text box, used to hold a large amount of text to display.
	DataGrid Control - An quick and easy way to display data in a table format. Populated from a datasource, you can add hyperlinks to it also, that dynamically direct you to different areas of your created application.
	Back Button - Javascript back button, can be placed on your pages, if needed to go back to previous pages.
	Popup Calendar - A flexible calendar control that allows user to select a date from a calendar box, instead of typing it in. This also helps to create date standards used in development.
	iFrame Control - You can add a static or dynamic page into your dynapage applications, but using this control, and setting a hyperlink to a source.
	Image Control - Add images to your applications, giving it a professional touch.
	Horizontal Line -Divider can be used to separate areas of your pages, by drawing a line across the page. Can also set the width of it.
	Popup Window - You can set a hyperlink to popup in a new window by using this control. Has a few properties you can set to customize to your needs.

To add controls to a page, firstly select the group in which you wish to add the controls. When you click the group, in the main development window, the group header text will change blue, and any controls that were in that group are now changed to movable buttons.

To add a new control to the group, drag a control from the left side, onto the active group, and a box will highlight the areas you can place it, as you move over the areas. When you drop the control, it turns into a button, from where you can click on it, and the properties for that control will appear in the properties window.
