Graphical Control Objects
Graphical control objects are used in ProvideX applications to display information,
input data, and handle event processing. These controls can be created using specific

development system. Refer to the ProvideX NOMADS Reference for further
information.
The following control object types are supported in ProvideX:
This section provides cross-references to corresponding directives and lists all of the
properties used to define and manipulate each of the specific object types. The list
supplied immediately below each object heading is linked to descriptions under the
full Properties List, p.705.
Properties that define extended attributes are shown in italics. They represent a
category of attributes that cannot be accessed within a directive (via FMT= or
OPT=); for example, the majority of cell attributes for grids are defined/set using
properties. See also Compound Properties, p.724.
