An observer must: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-E3C3E0C7-3C33-59F1-9CF0-DC678D001A51"><p>implement the mixin class <xref href="GUID-A2BF9AE8-CF42-3D94-8763-66DB11EDDA46.dita"><apiname>MCoeControlObserver</apiname></xref> and </p> </li> <li id="GUID-1C882B62-4368-5118-A3CF-101A54FA5ED6"><p>be set as the observer for the control (or controls) it is to observe using <codeph>CCoeControl::SetObserver()</codeph>. </p> </li> </ul> <p>A control may have one observer only, but an observer may observe more than one control. </p> <p>A control sends an event to its observer using <codeph>CCoeControl::ReportEventL()</codeph>. The observer receives the event using <codeph>MCoeControlObserver::HandleControlEventL()</codeph>. Event types, which are <i>not</i> the same as window server events, are defined by the <xref href="GUID-A2BF9AE8-CF42-3D94-8763-66DB11EDDA46.dita"><apiname>MCoeControlObserver</apiname></xref> enum <codeph>TCoeEvent</codeph>. </p> <p>A typical use of an observer is a <keyword>compound
+        control</keyword> being the observer for its own components. The components send events to their compound control when they receive user input and the compound control manages the interaction between them. For example a control receiving a <codeph>TPointerEvent::EButton1Down</codeph> event sends an <codeph>MCoeControlObserver::EEventRequestFocus</codeph> event to its observer. This allows the observer to move focus between its components and to update their appearance. </p> </conbody></concept>
