Simple controls such as BCheckBox and BButton deviate only a bit from BControl, whereas more complicated controls such as BColorControl and BSlider re-implement much more functionality. Whether you are building a simple control or something more complicated you should inherit from BControl as it provides a common set of methods for intercepting received messages from mouse and keyboard events. Controls have state which they keep in their value. The value of a control, stored as an int32, is read and set by the virtual Value() and SetValue() methods. BControl defines \c B_CONTROL_ON and \c B_CONTROL_OFF values that you can use as a convenience if your control has a simple on/off state. If your BControl derived class stores a larger set of states then you should define your own integer values instead. \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BControl::BControl(BRect frame, const char* name, const char* label, BMessage* message, uint32 resizingMode, uint32 flags) \brief Construct a control in the \a frame with a \a name, \a label, model \a message, \a resizingMode, and creation \a flags. The initial value of the control is set to 0 (\c B_CONTROL_OFF). The \a label and the \a message parameters can be set to \c NULL. \param frame The \a frame to draw the control in. \param name The \a name of the control. \param label The \a label displayed along with the control. \param message The \a message to send when the control is activated. \param resizingMode Defines the behavior of the control as the parent view resizes, see BView for more details. \param flags Behavior \a flags for the control, see BView for details. \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BControl::BControl(const char* name, const char* label, BMessage* message, uint32 flags) \brief Construct a control with a \a name, \a label, model \a message, and creation \a flags suitable for use with the Layout API.

This method overrides BView::AttachedToWindow() setting the low color and view color of the BControl so that it matches the view color of the control's parent view.

Overrides BView::KeyDown() to toggle the control value and then calls Invoke() for \c B_SPACE or \c B_ENTER. If this is not desired you should override this method in derived classes. The KeyDown() method is only called if the BControl is the focus view in the active window.

Disabled controls generally won't allow the user to focus on them (The \c B_NAVIGABLE flag is turned off), and don't post any messages.
