Icetips Xplore contains one global extension template and 4 procedure extension templates.  The global template is required and must be applied before you try to apply the procedure  extension templates. 

The global template allows you to set up default settings for the procedure extensions that can be overridden in the procedure extension if you want.  It also lets you set up previewers for the reports created by Xplore and set key codes to use to reset various settings applied by Xplore.

The procedure templates are used for different type of list boxes. 

Xplore Browse Extension is used for ABC browses only.  To add it you must first select the ABC Browse control template in the list of Extension templates and then add the Xplore extension.  That ties it to the selected ABC browse.  Once you have added the Xplore extension you can configure it any way you want. 

Xplore Listbox Extensions are used for hand coded list boxes only, not ABC browses.  There are two templates, a parent template that ties Xplore to the list box and the Xplore template that ties to the parent template.

The next sections contain detailed information about those templates.
