## Using web controls

JReport provides some web controls such as text field that is usually used in web pages. In most cases, web controls are not used independently. They are bound with some web actions, or put into a form. When a web control is bound with some web actions which will be triggered on certain events, any of the events applied to the web control will make the web actions performed. You can also add some web controls into a form, and then define the form according to your requirements, so that the inputs in JReport Web can be submitted to JReport Enterprise Server and thus be processed.

This section details how to use web controls in JReport as follows:

- Inserting a web control
- Defining web control values
- Applying web actions
- Making web controls work in a form
- Using a parameter form to run report sets

See an example: The SampleComponents catalog, included with JReport Designer, contains reports that have examples of how each component type could be used in a report. For the web control example, open `<install_root>\Demo\Reports\SampleComponents\WebControls_*.cls`.
