Panel components
The panel component tags
are optional user interface components that are used to enhance your Panel
Definition Markup Language (PDML) files. The names you assign to the components
must be unique within the scope of a given panel definition.
Below are the definitions of the panel component tags:

that occur when the user makes a selection. (See button,
checkbox, choice,
combobox, item,
