\section{\class{wxControl}}\label{wxcontrol}
This is the base class for a control or ``widget''.
A control is generally a small window which processes user input and/or
displays one or more item of data.

\membersection{wxControl::Command}\label{wxcontrolcommand}
\func{void}{Command}{\param{wxCommandEvent\& }{event}}
Simulates the effect of the user issuing a command to the item. See \helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent}.
\membersection{wxControl::GetLabel}\label{wxcontrolgetlabel}
\func{wxString\&}{GetLabel}{\void}
Returns the control's text.
Note that the returned string contains the mnemonics (\texttt{\&} characters) if
any.
\membersection{wxControl::SetLabel}\label{wxcontrolsetlabel}
\func{void}{SetLabel}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
Sets the item's text.
The \texttt{\&} characters in the \arg{label} are special and indicate that the
following character is a mnemonic for this control and can be used to activate
it from the keyboard (typically by using \textit{Alt} key in combination with
it). To insert a literal ampersand character, you need to double it, i.e. use
\texttt{"\&\&"}.
