Inserting a Variable Placeholder into a Snippet
You can insert a variable placeholder into a snippet to specify the location for inserting a variable. You can use a variable to customize or parameterize the snippet. For Composite Application Framework user interface snippets, inserting a variable placeholder allows you to specify custom values for control properties such as MyButtonLabel and TextInputWidth.
To insert a variable placeholder
1. On the Snippets view, expand the drawer that contains the created snippet.
2. Right-click the snippet, and then click Customize.
3. In the Customize Palette dialog box, in the Template Pattern text box, click to place the cursor at the insertion point.
4. Click Insert Variable Placeholder, and then double-click the variable placeholder name.
