Individual Control Reference

This section contains detailed information about using Windows controls in GUI ScreenIO. 

A control is, in Windows terminology, a child window that performs input and output tasks.  Controls provide the user with a way to type text, choose options, and pass commands to your application. 

Control Description
Checkbox Checkboxes are used for unrelated on/off choices.  If you need to make choices mutually exclusive, consider using radiobuttons
Combobox A combobox is (usually) a combination of an edit control and an associated listbox.  
Date Picker You can get fancy by using a date picker control, which is implemented as a type of edit control.
Edit Control Edit controls are used to collect and/or display textual or numeric data.
