This chapter will be devoted to simple controls that contain (even this is not necessary) a single line of text, a minimum of specific properties, methods and events in the TControl object type (in which they "live" together with many other kinds of visual objects, without the need to branch out into a separate object type). a type).
It should be noted right away that since the contents of almost all of these visual objects (text, picture, combination of text and picture) have easily defined sizes, then almost all of them can have the property of automatically resizing to the content (see the AutoSize method). Exceptions to this rule are panels (since their contents are, first of all, visual objects child of them).
