Control in a dynamic or static page

• Looper used to manage the files to upload. This looper is used to specify the file characteristics, to display a progress bar during the upload and to propose a button used to delete the file from the list if necessary.
• Caption indicating where the files to upload will be dropped.
• "Add" button used to add the files.
• "Send" button to start the file upload.

• Versions 22 and later
  In the earlier versions (before version 22), WEBDEV proposed two preset Upload controls (control used to upload a single file and control used to upload several files).

  • These controls are still operating in version 22 and later. The only difference with the control proposed in version 22 is the composition of the control (a looper in version 22 and later) and its interface.
  • These controls propose the generation in HTML 5 mode in version 22 (new feature of version 22, see Control characteristics).
