defUisCmds

The defUisCmds element is the parent node for default UIS commands. A default UIS command is one that is listed under the UIS Commands page in the remote device Properties dialog box. Attributes of defUisCmds can serve as default values for individual default UIS commands. However, default values can be overwritten at the individual command level.

Note: Default UIS commands only affect a remote device when it is created for the first time. Subsequent alterations of the device template file default UIS commands have no effect. Remote device copies only reflect the remote device as it appears in the remote device editors; its default UIS commands are not "reset."

Attributes

The following table lists and describes attributes generally applicable to this element. However, not all of the attributes listed here are applicable to all EIEs. Additionally, some attributes are required for use in every device template file of a certain EIE, but others may be used on a case-by-case or device-by-device basis, depending on your specific needs. All attributes in templates are case sensitive; but the case sensitivity of attribute values is based on context.

Note: Occasionally, device template files for different EIEs use attributes of the same name that do different things. Efforts are made in this document to highlight cases where an attribute by one name does different things in different EIEs.
