CONTROLS

Controls are a way to create custom UI logic without the need of a template. Sounds complicated, here's how:

Control::Make('h1')->append("Hello World!");

The Control class is the base for all kind of controls. You may use it for your own too:

class AjaxRepeater extends Control
{
	function __initialize()
	{
		parent::__initialize('div');
		$this->script("wdf.get('#{self}/delayload',function(d){ $('#{self}').html(d); })");
	}

	function DelayLoad()
	{
		$result = Control::Make();
		foreach( DataSource::Get()->Query('mytable')->limit(10) as $item )
			Control::Make('span')->append($item->name)->appendTo($result);
		return $result;
	}
}

This will create a DIV that loads it's contents once the page has been loaded. You can find some predefined controls in the lib/controls folder in the wdf repository. Of course you may subclass all of them to enrich their behaviour.
