## Class Control

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.Node
  - - javafx.scene.Parent
    - - javafx.scene.layout.Region
      - - javafx.scene.control.Control

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Styleable`, `EventTarget`, `Skinnable`
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    `Accordion`, `ButtonBar`, `ChoiceBox`, `ComboBoxBase`, `HTMLEditor`, `Labeled`, `ListView`, `MenuBar`, `Pagination`, `ProgressIndicator`, `ScrollBar`, `ScrollPane`, `Separator`, `Slider`, `Spinner`, `SplitPane`, `TableView`, `TabPane`, `TextInputControl`, `ToolBar`, `TreeTableView`, `TreeView`

      public abstract class Control
      extends Region
      implements Skinnable

  Base class for all user interface controls. A "Control" is a node in the scene graph which can be manipulated by the user. Controls provide additional variables and behaviors beyond those of Node to support common user interactions in a manner which is consistent and predictable for the user.

  Additionally, controls support explicit skinning to make it easy to leverage the functionality of a control while customizing its appearance.

  See specific Control subclasses for information on how to use individual types of controls.

  Most controls have their focusTraversable property set to true by default, however read-only controls such as `Label` and `ProgressIndicator`, and some controls that are containers `ScrollPane` and `ToolBar` do not. Consult individual control documentation for details.

  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

      Computes the minimum allowable width of the Control, based on the provided height. The minimum width is not calculated within the Control, instead the calculation is delegated to the `Node.minWidth(double)` method of the `Skin`. If the Skin is null, the returned value is 0.
      Overrides:

          protected double computeMaxWidth​(double height)

      Computes the maximum allowable width of the Control, based on the provided height. The maximum width is not calculated within the Control, instead the calculation is delegated to the `Node.maxWidth(double)` method of the `Skin`. If the Skin is null, the returned value is 0.
      Overrides:
        `computeMaxWidth` in class `Region`
      Parameters:
        `height` - The height of the Control, in case this value might dictate the maximum width.

    - #### computeMaxHeight

          protected double computeMaxHeight​(double width)

      Computes the maximum allowable height of the Control, based on the provided width. The maximum height is not calculated within the Control, instead the calculation is delegated to the `Node.maxHeight(double)` method of the `Skin`. If the Skin is null, the returned value is 0.
      Overrides:
        `computeMaxHeight` in class `Region`
      Parameters:

    - #### computePrefWidth

          protected double computePrefWidth​(double height)

      Computes the preferred width of this region for the given height. Region subclasses should override this method to return an appropriate value based on their content and layout strategy. If the subclass doesn't have a VERTICAL content bias, then the height parameter can be ignored.
      Overrides:
        `computePrefWidth` in class `Region`
      Parameters:
        `height` - the height that should be used if preferred width depends on it
      Returns:
        the computed preferred width for this region

    - #### computePrefHeight

          protected double computePrefHeight​(double width)

      Computes the preferred height of this region for the given width; Region subclasses should override this method to return an appropriate value based on their content and layout strategy. If the subclass doesn't have a HORIZONTAL content bias, then the width parameter can be ignored.
      Overrides:
        `computePrefHeight` in class `Region`
      Parameters:
        `width` - the width that should be used if preferred height depends on it

      Overrides:
        `getBaselineOffset` in class `Parent`
      Returns:
        baseline offset

    - #### layoutChildren

          protected void layoutChildren()

      Invoked during the layout pass to layout the children in this `Parent`. By default it will only set the size of managed, resizable content to their preferred sizes and does not do any node positioning.

      Subclasses should override this function to layout content as needed.

      Overrides:
        `layoutChildren` in class `Parent`

    - #### createDefaultSkin

          protected Skin<?> createDefaultSkin()

      Create a new instance of the default skin for this control. This is called to create a skin for the control if no skin is provided via CSS `-fx-skin` or set explicitly in a sub-class with `setSkin(...)`.
      Returns:
        new instance of default skin for this control. If null then the control will have no skin unless one is provided by css.
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0

    - #### getClassCssMetaData

          public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getClassCssMetaData()

      Returns:
        The CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0

    - #### getCssMetaData

          public final List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getCssMetaData()

      This method returns a `List` containing all `CssMetaData` for both this Control (returned from `getControlCssMetaData()` and its `Skin`, assuming the `skin property` is a `SkinBase`.

      Developers who wish to provide custom CssMetaData are therefore encouraged to override `getControlCssMetaData()` or `SkinBase.getCssMetaData()`, depending on where the CssMetaData resides.

      Specified by:
        `getCssMetaData` in interface `Styleable`
      Overrides:
        `getCssMetaData` in class `Region`
      Returns:
        The CssMetaData associated with this node, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0

      Returns:
        unmodifiable list of the controls css styleable properties
      Since:
        JavaFX 8.0

    - #### getInitialFocusTraversable

          protected Boolean getInitialFocusTraversable()

      Returns the initial focus traversable state of this control, for use by the JavaFX CSS engine to correctly set its initial value. By default all UI controls are focus traversable, so this method is overridden in Control to set the initial traversable state to true.
      Overrides:
        `getInitialFocusTraversable` in class `Node`
      Returns:
        the initial focus traversable state of this control
      Since:
        9

    - #### queryAccessibleAttribute

          public Object queryAccessibleAttribute​(AccessibleAttribute attribute,
                                                 Object... parameters)

      This method is called by the assistive technology to request the value for an attribute.

      This method is commonly overridden by subclasses to implement attributes that are required for a specific role.
      If a particular attribute is not handled, the superclass implementation must be called.

      Overrides:
        `queryAccessibleAttribute` in class `Parent`
      Parameters:
        `attribute` - the requested attribute
        `parameters` - optional list of parameters

      This method is called by the assistive technology to request the action indicated by the argument should be executed.

      This method is commonly overridden by subclasses to implement action that are required for a specific role.
