WINDEV Mobile allows you to create control templates. A control template is a set of controls that can be re-used in several windows.

The changes made in a control template are automatically applied to all windows using this template.

A control template is used to:

group a set of controls for a specific purpose.
make the controls independent of the window that is hosting them.

View of a control template.
The template is bordered by an orange line in the editor.

Template used in a window.
The elements belonging to the template are bordered by a blue line and identified by a yellow square.

A control template can be created:

via the icon in the quick access buttons. In the window for creating a new element, click "Window" then "Control template".
from the controls in the window (select the controls and right-click, in the context menu that appears, select "Refactoring .. Create a control template from the selection").

To create a window based on a control template, create a "Control template" control.

The characteristics of the elements can be dissociated from the template. For example, dissociate the position of a control from the template to move it elsewhere while keeping other changes (code, style, etc.). This is referred to as control inheritance. In this case, the elements are identified by a blue square.
