That's because there's not much to explain, I suppose a few properties could require further description but most of it is self-explanatory. Everything you can put in your code is there, for example if you want to change the font colour of a Static Control:
Example current code:
quote:
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblBla">
<Position Top="35" Width="150" Left="15"/>
<Caption>Bla bla</Caption>
</Control>
Click on 'StaticControl'
Wow, theres a diagram with a whole bunch of properties I can set for static controls and a 'Color' option available to me
quote:
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblBla">
<Position Top="35" Width="150" Left="15"/>
<Caption>Bla bla</Caption>
<Color>
</Color>
</Control>
Click 'Color' -> You'll see that it has more properties nested under that (Red, Green, Blue are probably the most important).
quote:
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblBla">
<Position Top="35" Width="150" Left="15"/>
<Caption>Bla bla</Caption>
<Color>
<Red></Red>
<Green></Green>
<Blue></Blue>
</Color>
</Control>
Click 'Red' ->
That's the end of the line - I no longer have a diagram, but rather some details telling me the type of value accepted (unsignedByte <-- This just means an integer from 0 to (2^8 - 1), that is 0 to 255, you don't really need to know this though as it explains the accepted value range right underneath), the minimum value accepted (0), and the maximum value accepted (255).
quote:
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblBla">
<Position Top="35" Width="150" Left="15"/>
<Caption>Bla bla</Caption>
<Color>
<Red>150</Red>
<Green></Green>
<Blue></Blue>
</Color>
</Control>
Go back (hit the back button) and do the same for 'Green' and 'Blue' -> You'll find that they accept similar inputs as 'Red' did:
quote:
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblBla">
<Position Top="35" Width="150" Left="15"/>
<Caption>Bla bla</Caption>
<Color>
<Red>150</Red>
<Green>123</Green>
<Blue>255</Blue>
</Color>
</Control>
