About directives

  

Use the Reference directive to display the values of properties, to allow users to enter values for properties, and to insert parameter values.

The output of the Reference directive uses the control rule associated with this property. For example, if the property's control rule (identified in the Property Stream field of the Property form) contains HTML code for a selection box, the property displays as a selection box. In unusual situations, you can override the output by using a variant of the Reference directive.
