Abstract

A method and apparatus for enabling a unit such as a complex control comprising multiple pages, which should be implemented as a single pair of user interface file and code file, to be implemented in a multiplicity of files, to enable multiple developers to work concurrently on the control, and to enable dynamic addition, deletion or update of pages in a control. The method comprises constructing a template describing the complex control, generating separate pages according to the template, and in run time aggregating the separate pages, renaming elements within the separate pages and routing events to the event handlers implemented by the separate pages.
