Deferred Section control

The Deferred Section control can be used to improve the efficiency of a coach by enabling the lazy loading of its controls. In lazy loading, images that are outside of the viewport are not loaded until the user scrolls the page to reach them.

Configuration properties

Set or modify configuration properties for the Deferred Section control in the Configuration properties tab.

Theme definitions: Theme definitions specify the colors and styles for a control and determine the appearance of the control. You can preview the look and feel of controls in the theme editor. See Themes.

The appearance configuration properties for the Deferred Section control are shown in the following table:

Table 1. Appearance configuration properties for the Deferred Section control
Configuration property	Description	Data type
Lazy-load automatically	Specifies whether the section is automatically loaded lazily after the specified delay has passed.	`Boolean`
Delay for auto-loading	Specifies the time interval (in milliseconds) during which the automatic loading of the section is delayed.	`Integer`

Events

Set or modify the event handlers for the control in the Events tab. You can set events to be triggered programmatically or when a user interacts with the control. For information about how to define and code events, see User-defined events.

The Deferred Section control has the following type of event handlers:

OnLazyLoad: Activated when the lazy load is complete. For example:
```
alert("Lazy load complete")
```

Depending on the specific event, you can use JavaScript logic to modify the effects of the control. More information on using events with controls is found in the topic Event Handling.

Methods

For detailed information on the available methods for the Deferred Section control, see the JavaScript documentation.
