This example program creates an application that uses a single view. It implements the standard classes required by any application using UI controls. That is, an application, a document, an application UI and a view.
A view is a control (derived from CCoeControl) that displays the application's data on the
screen and handles user input. The pointer and key input is handled
by printing to the screen a description of the key event, or the x,y
coordinates of the pointer event.
The application and document
are implemented minimally. The application UI handles commands by
overriding the CEikAppUi::HandleCommandL() method.
In this example, commands are generated by the toolbar buttons, and
are handled by changing the formatting of the text. The text that
is initially displayed is read from a resource file.

The Symbian build process describes how to build an application.
The ControlFramework example builds an executable
called ControlFramework.exe in the standard location
(\epoc32\release\winscw\ <build_variant> for CodeWarrior). Either launch the executable itself, or launch
the emulator and then select the ControlFramework application from
the Emulator's extras bar.
