The composite is a layout element that only can contain other layout elemtns. You can use it for example to make a colored area as background of other elements. You can also enable/disable a group of controls by swtiching the composite on/off they belongs to (read more about also in chapter Events).
Control Attributes
| Sub Controls | The elements (controls) inside the composite. The x- and y coordinate refers to the position inside the composite. |
| Edit in Layouteditor | With this button a additional layouteditor will be startet with the
content of the composite. You can modifiy now the composite like a
layout page. After finishing the the content will be transferd to the

Actions
If there is a action defined on composite itself, it is not possible
to add actions to the controls inside the composite too. You can add
actions for the following triggers:
| click | Will be executed when clicking on the button |
| longclick | The action will be executed, if you click on the button and keep it pressed for a moment. |
| timing | The action will be executed several time, as long the button will be
pressed. This makes sense especially for volume control of devies (if
you use a Logitech Harmony Hub, you have to use ths trigger in any case
for volume control). |
| onstart | will be executed while creating the page after the contro is initialized |
You can read more about actions in the chapter Actions.

The following attributes can be changed by a event handler:
| bgcolor | Background color |
| visible | true / false |
| x | X coordinate |
| y | Y coordinate |
| width | width of the control |
| height | height of the control |
