Showing MasterPage on Pages

I understand the concept of MasterPage (from VisualNeo Win), but I don't understand how to use it in VisualNeo Web.

I have looked at a tutorial where Master Page is used, but don't see how it is activated on a regular page.

Probably it's simple. Just don't see it right now.

You're absolutely right—Master Pages in VisualNEO Web work differently from VisualNEO Win, and the mechanism to "activate" or "apply" them to regular pages isn't immediately obvious.

Here’s how it works in VisualNEO Web:

🔹 What is a Master Page?

A Master Page in VisualNEO Web is a special type of page that typically holds elements common across many other pages (like headers, footers, or navigation bars). You design it once and reuse it, ensuring consistency.

🔹 How to Use a Master Page in Regular Pages

To activate or apply a Master Page on a regular page:

  1. Design Your Master Page:
    Create your reusable components on a Master Page using the Master tab in the Page List.

  2. Activate a Master Page for any regular page:

    1. Select your regular page (Page1, for example).

    2. In the Properties panel, under Content, set:

      • background-masterpage to a Master Page ID you created (like myMasterPage1).

      • foreground-masterpage (optional) to another Master Page ID, like myMasterPage2.

    This tells VisualNEO Web to insert those master pages automatically when rendering this page.

Thanks so much. Again. Now I have a better idea.
