Library Elements

To add content to a page we use either Basic Elements or Library Elements. Library Elements are displayed with Library Explorer where we can select a Library Element and place in a page with drag & drop.

Library Elements are ready-made structures that bring generic solutions for common needs such as playing media files, inserting pop-up menus, picking up a valid date from user, etc.

We can use the ready-made elements existing in the library or we can extend the library with new elements.

Library elements has big impact on shortening development time in case they are well designed and utilized. When defining library elements we can use some additional properties that are invisible through the property editor.

When we are developing a project we can work with two types of libraries.

System Library

Keeps the elements that are visible to all projects. Library elements are XML files with extension mmel that exist under "{INSTALL_DIR}\lib\cpn" directory.

Project Library

Keeps the Project's Library elements under "{PROJECT_DIR}\plib" directory.

Library Elements are Dynamic
