The Component keyword is used to declare special non-visual elements in IWML. These elements do not appear in the visual layout but provide important background functionality for the application. Examples include system-level helpers like toast messages, timers, or background processors.

 

Although written in the same layout as visual controls, components are handled separately by the framework during loading and execution. They do not belong to any parent layout and do not affect the visual structure.

 

Use Component when you need behavior, not appearance.
