Selecting the template to use – PB Docs 126

Using the Export.XHTML.
UseTemplate
property

The Data Export page in the Properties view lets you set properties
for exporting data in XHTML. The names of all templates that you
create and save for the current DataWindow object display in the
Use Template drop-down list.

In addition to the properties that you can set on this page,
you can use the Export.XHTML.TemplateCount and Export.XHTML.Template[ ].Name properties
to let the user of an application select an export template at runtime. See “Selecting XHTML export templates
at runtime”.

You can specify the template you want to apply to the default
XML Web DataWindow or XHTML Web DataWindow generation at runtime
by setting the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate property. You set the property
using the Data Export tab in the DataWindow painter’s Properties
view by selecting XHTML as the format and then selecting the XHTML
export template’s name from the Use Template drop-down
list box.

You can also set the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate DataWindow property
in script. For information, see “Selecting XHTML export templates
at runtime”.

Incorrect setting of the UseTemplate property

If you set the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate property at runtime
to the name of a template that does not exist, the built-in default
Template is used on an export.
