There are three main aspects of controls: properties, methods and events.
-
Properties are attributes of the control that you can set. For example, a property can control what background color is used for the trend chart in the Trend control.
-
A method performs a function for a control. For example, a method can set the time span for the query.
-
An event is an occurrence of something within or to the control (such as a mouse click or a data change) that you might want to respond to through scripting (known as an event handler).
