Visual InterDev

design-time control

A control in Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ that presents a graphical interface at design time (including properties you can set in the Properties window), but which at run time generates HTML text, script objects, and sometimes other components to implement the functionality you are designing.

Design-time controls include standard user-interface elements — text box, label, check box, list box, command button, and so on, and controls that have no visual appearance but generate a run-time object (such as a Recordset object). Design-time controls also provide data binding capability.
