The Control Bar allows individual, generic control objects to be placed into the Surface. Each control type is represented by an icon. To place an object, first click on the appropriate icon, then simply click at the desired location in the Surface. With certain control types, this will produce a pop-up window of configuration options, which must match the component being controlled. Then data attributes must also be assigned to match the component being controlled.
