Customization of Conversion between the Data Source and UI Components

Define the Access Privilege of Data Binding Manager

Macro Component

Macro Components

Three Steps to Use Macro Components

Zscript, java, EL

Use zscript to initialize

access UI component by ID

define Variable in zscript and access by EL

Define class and methods in zscript

access implicit object

getVariable VS. getZScriptVariable
