Control elements

Control elements are interactive elements in a graphic user interface, for instance a button or a scroll bar.

They are linked to functions in the program which are executed as soon as the element is activated, for instance, with a mouse click. A variety of control elements are available to you.

Depending on the control element, the applicable actions for all elements, individual element-specific actions, and properties are also available to you.


The default control elements are sorted into different groups. If you know the name of your desired element, you can enter it into the search function.

Your searched control element is immediately available to you without a long searching.
