    13 <p>The term <i>control</i> refers to a rectangular area of the display

    14 that may respond to user input events. A control provides a means of access

    15 to a window, which means it can be drawn onto the window and receive input.</p>

    16 <p>Controls are derived from <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/Control_Environment/CCoeControlClass.html" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>CCoeControl</parmname></xref>.</p>

    17 <p>Examples of controls include:</p>
