AbstractThe unique identifier for this control.
This is true if the control can respond to UI events else false.
Use enable() and disable() to enable and disable it.
This is true if the control background is opaque else false.
Use opaque() and transparent() display / hide the background.
This is true if the control is visible else false.
Use hide() and show() to set visibility.
The type name for this control.
(type name = class name without the Cvs prefix)
Add a child to this control using its relative position [rx, ry]. If rx and ry are not provided then it uses the values set in the child.
is the actual control or its id
Optionalrx: numberOptionalry: numberthis control
Execute one or more configuration methods on this control.
The parameter is a user defined object where each field is the name of a configuration method and its value is the method's parameter(s). Multiple parameters should be in an array and use 'undefined' if the method expects no parameters.
This object will change the color scheme, text size and alignment, it will also make sure it is visible.
{ scheme : 'red', textSize : 12, textAlign: ['left', 'top'], show : undefined }
If the field name does not exist or not a valid function of this
control it will be silently ignored.
There is no error checking on the parameters, it is up to the user to ensure they are valid for the control method.
