About Controls

In a Microsoft Windows Forms application, a control represents an object that can be placed on a Form that provides information to the user or interaction with the Form and script, and includes a graphical aspect to it. Examples of controls include:

• Labels
• Text Boxes
• Buttons
• List Boxes

Note

All controls are Components that include a graphical aspect to them.

In a ScriptoForm, controls provide many key benefits. For example, a TextBox control can accept user input and a Button control can allow a user to perform an action.
