Input Components

Input components are the main method to allow for, and react to, user input. These controls can be used and combined with Events to both invoke actions within the screen or project, but also to set Tags at the OAS Server to communicate values with other systems.

TIP

Most of these controls will look and behave as you would expect from other UI systems. However, it is helpful to be familiar with how Events and actions work within the UIEngine.
