+<h1>Components</h1>
+<p>
+A component is an instance of <code>TComponent</code> or its child class. The base class <code>TComponent</code> implements the mechanism of component properties and events.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Component Properties</h2>
+<p>
+A component property can be viewed as a public variable describing a specific aspect of the component, such as the background color, the font size, etc. A property is defined by the existence of a getter and/or a setter method in the component class. For example, in <code>TControl</code>, we have
+<pre class="source">
+class TControl extends TComponent {
+ public function getID() {
+ ...
+ }
+ public function setID($value) {
+ ...
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+This defines a property named <code>ID</code>. Reading the property (e.g. <code>echo $component->ID;</code>) is equivalent to invoking the getter method (e.g. <code>echo $component->getID();</code>); and writing the property (e.g. <code>$component->ID='Button';</code>) is equivalent to invoking the setter method (e.g. <code>$component->setID('Button');</code>).
+</p>
+<p>
+A property is read-only if it has a getter method but no setter method. Since PHP method names are case-insensitive, property names are also case-insensitive. A component class inherits all its ancestor classes' properties.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Component Events</h2>
+<p>
+Component events are special properties that take method names as their values. Attaching (setting) a method to an event will hook up the method to the places at which the event is raised. Therefore, the behavior of a component can be modified in a way that may not be foreseen during the development of the component.
+</p>
+<p>
+A component event is defined by the existence of an <code>on</code>-method. For example, in <code>TButton</code>, we have
+<pre class="source">
+class TButton extends TWebControl {
+ public function onClick($param) {
+ ...
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+This defines an event named <code>Click</code>, and a handler can be attached to the event using one of the following ways,
+<pre class="source">
+$button->Click=$callback;
+$button->Click->add($callback);
+$button->Click[]=$callback;
+$button->attachEventHandler('Click',$callback);
+</pre>
+where <code>$callback</code> refers to a valid PHP callback (e.g. a function name, a class method <code>array($object,'method')</code>, etc.)
+</p>

+<h1>Controls</h1>
+<p>
+A control is an instance of class <code>TControl</code> or its subclass. A control is a component defined in addition with user interface. The base class <code>TControl</code> defines the parent-child relationship among controls which reflects the containment relationship among user interface elements.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Parent-Child Relationship</h3>
+<p>
+A parent control is in charge of the state transition of its child controls. The rendering result of the child controls are usually used to compose the parent control's presentation.
+</p>
+<p>
+The parent-child relationship is usually established by the framework via <a href="?page=Configurations.Templates1">templates</a>. In code, you may explicitly specify a control as a child of another using the following method,
+<pre class="source">
+$parent->Controls->add($child);
+</pre>
+where the property <code>Controls</code> refers to the child control collection of the parent.
+</p>

+<h1>Pages</h1>
+<p>
+Pages are top-most controls that have no parent (you may consider application as their container though). The presentation of pages are directly displayed to end-users.
