"EventExplorerWindow" -> "Container" -> "ScrollChild" is then named EventExplorerWindowContainerScrollChild in _G, look that up in Garkins code, this control is used as the parent of created rows.

So instead of being a seperate type of control (like <Label/>, <EditBox/> and the like) that has other elements as childs, the scroll container is a "Control" whose inherits atribute was set? The same way you set a <Backdrop/> inherits atrbute, to tell it wich Backdrop it has to look like?


I try to get some understanding of what happens via the rules that apply to WPF. There writing code like this:

<Label>
    <Content>
        "Test"
    <Content/>
</Label>

would just be different syntax for this:

<Label Content="Test"/>

With the first syntax having the potentioal for a lot more complex content then a mere string (A label could contain a image. Or a container that in turn has dozens of sub elments).


Going from there:

<GuiXml>
    <Controls>
        </Controls>
</GuiXML>

I just the way to set the "Controls" Field/Property of the GuiXML element.


Wich elements all have a "Controls" property and are thus containers?
Is it only "GuiXML", "Control" and "TopLevelControl"? All of them? All of them but a few?
