    15 controls</title>

    16 <p>Window-owning controls have the same size and position as a window in

    17 the display. Each window has a one-to-one relationship with the control that

    18 covers it, and shares its behavior with that control.</p>

    19 <p>Examples of window-owning controls include:</p>

    20 <ul>

    21 <li><p>top-level control in <xref href="GUID-B5DE1C86-2B16-4B22-887F-7079E54A8ED6.dita">Traditional

    22 Symbian platform architecture</xref></p></li>

    23 <li><p>the sub-panes in the status pane</p></li>

    24 <li><p>pop-up windows, when a sense of layering is required</p>

    25 </li>

    26 </ul>

    27 <p>The following code snippet is an example of the second phase construction

    28 of a window-owning control:</p>

    29 <codeblock id="GUID-234E4AC3-2FC8-4AD9-8B72-0FBA478E1D5A" xml:space="preserve">CMyControl::ConstructL()

    30     {

    31     CreateWindowL();    // This makes the control window- 

    32                         // owning

    33     SetRectL(ClientRect()); // This sets the control’s 

    34                             // size

    35     ActivateL();        // This must be called before

    36                         // the control can be drawn

    37     }

    38 </codeblock>

    39 <p><parmname>CEikAppUi::ClientRect()</parmname> returns the screen area

    40 available to the application for drawing. This typically does not include

    41 the space that is reserved for the status/control panes.</p>

    43 run-time control hierarchy</xref></p>

    45 <section id="GUID-13D754E5-EBCF-4058-B3B3-05505289953B"><title>Non-window-owning

    46 controls</title>

    47 <p>Non-window-owning controls typically cover only part of a window on

    48 the display, and must be contained in window-owning controls. They are faster

    49 and require fewer resources than window-owning controls.</p>

    50 <p>Examples of non-window-owning controls include:</p>

    51 <ul>

    52 <li><p>command buttons</p></li>

    53 <li><p>edit windows</p></li>

    54 <li><p>labels</p></li>

    55 </ul>

    56 <p>Non-window-owning controls are assigned to window-owning controls by

    57 calling <xref href="GUID-B06F99BD-F032-3B87-AB26-5DD6EBE8C160.dita#GUID-B06F99BD-F032-3B87-AB26-5DD6EBE8C160/GUID-A39BAD7E-BAF2-3A4B-BE4F-2A86718EB190"><apiname>CCoeControl::SetContainerWindowL()</apiname></xref> when the control

    58 is constructed.</p>
