How Does Prototyping Work?
Adding components to an SLX configuration in Target Designer is called instantiating a component. Numerous activities occur when a component is instantiated in a SLX file. For example, component scripts may be executed and a number of additional actions may occur depending on the component’s specific configuration and settings. Also, upon instantiation, prototype chains are “collapsed” into a single component or instance, with the top-level component’s properties becoming the new default, thus overriding the original component’s settings if there are differences. Okay, so now we understand prototyping better, but how do users take advantage of this cool technology to help them automate this build process? The answer has been in Target Designer the whole time. Start or open a configuration that includes the component User Interface Core in Target Designer. Click on the Settings node of the User Interface Core component, and enable the Shell features that you prefer in your configuration
