2015-03-21 option to use params in includes

here's a simple example on how to use this new functionality...

include definition (put this in Includes.xml for instance):

Code:

<include name="test">
    <control type="button">
        <left>$PARAM[foo]</left>
        <top>$PARAM[bar]</top>
        <width>20</width>
        <height>20</height>
        <texturefocus>close-button-fo.png</texturefocus>
        <texturenofocus>close-button-nf.png</texturenofocus>
    </control>
</include>

now you can include the button in your window / dialog like this:

Code:

<include name="test">
    <param name="foo" value="100" />
    <param name="bar" value="250" />
</include>
