Controls

While the layout panels provide the container, the controls are the important things you'll be arranging. So far, you've already seen examples of creating instances of controls, setting properties, and handling events. You've also seen the basics of the content model that makes controls in WPF special. However, for the details of event routing, command handling, mouse/keyboard input and an enumeration of the controls in WPF, you'll want to check out Chapter 3. Further, for information about packaging up custom UI and behavior, as well as the techniques discussed in the rest of this chapter and the rest of this book, you'll want to read Chapter 9.
