Element Development

You can create new library elements or modify the existing ones.

See Creating New Library Elements and Updating Existing Library Elements topics to learn how to do it.

The MoreMotion Application Studio is just enough for designing the simple elements and for setting its properties. But as we expect more functionality from an element we would like to have more control on it.

For such cases we should edit the XML file of a library element using a text editor.

MoreMotion XML Editor (mmEd)

MoreMotion XML Editor (mmEd) is the right tool to edit the library elements. You can easily launch mmEd from "Shell | Send to mmEd" context menu that pops up when you right click on a library element on the library explorer.

Understanding the XML code structure of an element help us develop more efficient elements. Besides, some element properties are invisible to the users through the property editor. They are exclusive to the library elements. The only way to set these kind of properties is to edit the XML file of the element that exist in the library with extension mmel.
