Individual control reference:

Important Note: Individual controls can be created either through the Panel Designer or through dynamic creation at runtime using the appropriate statements (eg: createbutton). Dynamically created controls cannot benefit from the 100% Configuration System, therefore unless you have a specific need to dynamically create the controls you should use the Panel Designer in preference. A Flash movie showing how to create and use controls with the Paenl Designer is available on the Media page. The Panel Designer reference is at this page, and contains a link to a downloadable sample that demonstrates the Panel Designer system.
