Syntax and Structure
Rendering

When the page or a view is loaded, the framework will load the object definitions from the server. Then it will take the steps shown in the diagram to initialize the control.

1. Object Creation: The constructor function is executed, which usually creates the properties and events.
2. Set Property Values: The framework will set the property values it received from the server.
3. Create Function: The create function will be called.
4. Initial Rendering: The control will generate the initial HTML used by the control (render, openHtml, closeHtml).
5. DOM Initialization: The initialization of the DOM elements generated by the provided HTML occurs (afterRender).

From this point on, the control lives its life and should be ready to respond to the UI and actions from the server (changing of properties / client actions).
