+<p>A simple control is one that contains no other control. The term <i>compound
+control</i> or <i>container</i> refers to a control that contains one or more
+other controls. The contained controls may themselves be compound controls.
+When a control is contained in a compound control it is called a component
+control. Compound controls can be used to group non-window-owning controls
+in window-owning controls or to allow several controls to be handled together.</p>
+<p>For more information on compound controls, see <xref href="GUID-97486385-88F7-4AF1-B880-D9A8AA4D7094.dita">Compound
+controls in traditional architecture</xref> and <xref href="GUID-57CA8A13-05C6-4AFE-9804-E2EA2453143A.dita">Compound
+controls in the view architecture</xref>.</p>
+<p>Examples of a compound control include:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>a view that displays text in the <i>main</i> pane</p>
+<itemgroup>
+<p>typically this is handled by using the methods of the <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCEikLabel.html" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>CEikLabel</parmname></xref> class,
