control point

In the narrowest terms, control points refer to the eight point types found in the baja control palette under the Points folder. In broader terms, control points include components from the control and kitControl palettes. Most of these components are based on the eight basic point types. They inherit from BooleanPoint, EnumPoint, NumericPoint, and StringPoint.

ControlPoint is the base class for all point types in the Baja control architecture. A ControlPoint maps to one value that a driver reads or writes. All ControlPoints have a StatusValue property called Out.

If the predefined proxyExt is not a NullProxyEct, the system considers the point a proxy point. This means that it is a local representation of a point that actually exists in an external device. The framework uses the driver to maintain synchronization.
