Since PHP method names are case-insensitive, property names are also case-insensitive. A component class inherits all its ancestor classes' properties.
Component Events
++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. +

-method. For example, inTButton
, we have ++class TButton extends TWebControl { + public function onClick($param) { + ... + } +} ++This defines an event namedClick
, and a handler can be attached to the event using one of the following ways, ++$button->Click=$callback; +$button->Click->add($callback); +$button->Click[]=$callback; +$button->attachEventHandler('Click',$callback); ++where$callback
refers to a valid PHP callback (e.g. a function name, a class methodarray($object,'method')

defines the parent-child relationship among controls which reflects the containment relationship among user interface elements.Parent-Child Relationship
++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. +
++The parent-child relationship is usually established by the framework via templates. In code, you may explicitly specify a control as a child of another using the following method, +
+$parent->Controls->add($child); ++where the propertyControls
refers to the child control collection of the parent. + +Pages
++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. +
