ELEMENT_TYPES

Overview

The ELEMENT_TYPES defines constants for identifying various UI components in Servoy. It provides values such as BUTTON, CALENDAR, and TEXT_FIELD to help developers determine an element's type and manage its behavior during scripting. Practical examples show how these constants can be used in scripts to implement specific logic based on the element type. This simplifies working with Servoy's UI components and enhances customization capabilities.
