};Such a control is used to customize the form. It is responsible by drawing borders and header. This control usually has zero size and when it is added to form it calls form's setInputControl(...) method setting itself as input handler for the form. The control which is set as input handler receives all keyboard events the form receive if it wasn't handled by capture keyboard control. It receives all mouse events which was not handled by other controls or there is no control to handle them. The same is true as well for drop files event.
