The Data Export page in the Properties view lets you set properties for exporting data in XHTML. The names of all templates that you create and save for the current DataWindow object display in the Use Template drop-down list.
In addition to the properties that you can set on this page, you can use the Export.XHTML.TemplateCount and Export.XHTML.Template[ ].Name properties to let the user of an application select an export template at runtime. See “Selecting XHTML export templates at runtime”.
You can specify the template you want to apply to the default XML Web DataWindow or XHTML Web DataWindow generation at runtime by setting the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate property. You set the property using the Data Export tab in the DataWindow painter’s Properties view by selecting XHTML as the format and then selecting the XHTML export template’s name from the Use Template drop-down list box.
You can also set the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate DataWindow property in script. For information, see “Selecting XHTML export templates at runtime”.
Incorrect setting of the UseTemplate property
If you set the Export.XHTML.UseTemplate property at runtime
to the name of a template that does not exist, the built-in default
Template is used on an export.
