of a control in an object definition. We recommend setting the objects option when you know that you are going
to be using gadgets for all or most of a certain type of object.

As in C, it is possible to include other files in a UIL module. However, the syntax of an include directive in UIL is
different. Our example application isn't large enough to make it worth using include files, but to include a file named
procedures.uih we would use the following line in a module:
