WebFormItem

The 4D.WebFormItem class allows you to handle the behavior of your webform components.

4D.WebFormItem objects are properties of the 4D.WebForm object returned by the webForm command.

When you call the webForm command, the returned 4D.WebForm proxy object holds as many 4D.WebFormItems as there are components with server-side references in your webform.

For example, WebFormObject.myImage refers to the image component with myImage as server reference.
