Building the UI

The Web Control, unlike other Web Controls, doesn't have a default appearance. When it is first added to a Web Page, it will appear in the Stage as follows:

A note on which Web Controls to use as component parts

Other Web Controls can then be nested inside the File Upload Web Control in the same ways they might be added to any other :

They can also be styled like nested Web Controls in any other .

Once a Web Control has been made a nested component of the File Upload Control, clicking on it will generally result in a prompt to select an item for upload, after which downstream associated with the File Upload Control will be triggered.

As discussed above, after a Web Control has been made a nested component of the File Upload Control, clicking on it will generally result in a prompt to select an item for upload. However, there are some Web Controls, such as and , that are structured around supporting particular user interactions, and these interactions will take precedence over uploading a file.

It is possible, for instance, to include a as part of a File Upload Web Control and associate clicking that button with an . A user that clicks that Button, then, would not be prompted to select an item for upload and would instead trigger the Action Chain associated with the Button.

To ensure that the functionality of a File Upload Web Control will always be accessible to users, we recommend including at least one in every File Upload Web Control (perhaps on that says something like "+ New File"). Labels are not designed to facilitate any user interaction other than reading, and so they do not contain the framework of anything that might override the functionality of the File Upload Web Control.
