Controls

     “Any window may contain controls, such as buttons, check boxes, and scroll bars. You can create and manipulate controls with the [Macintosh] Control Manager. When you learn from the Window Manager that the user pressed the mouse button inside a window containing controls, you call the Control Manager to find out which control it was pressed in, if any.” —Inside Macintosh, Volume I, page I-11^b4b

If you spot an error in fact, grammar, syntax, or spelling, or a broken link, or have additional information, commentary, or constructive criticism, please e-mail Milo. If you have any extra copies of docs, manuals, or other materials that can assist in accuracy and completeness, please send them to Milo, PO Box 1361, Tustin, CA, USA, 92781.
