  • Types of GControls:
    • Entries/Selectors
      Text entry boxes, choice boxes and date selectors.
      Valuators
      Numeric valuators for entering numbers and times.
      Can set min/max values and increments.
      Popups
      Various alert and file entry popups.
      Less frequently used since the Swing-based POPUP command was added.
      Dialogs
      Popup dialog boxes.
      Displays
      Various display widgets.
      Labels
      Labels are used to divide large sets of controls into logical sections.
      Labels have a roll-up/roll-down feature that allows the user to hide/show a group of controls.
      Lines
      Lines are horizontal lines drawn to separate portions of the control panel.
