Where Are We?

Controls are the building blocks of applications. They represent the features of the interface with which the user interacts. Controls provide behavior, and they rely on styling and templates to present an appearance. WPF provides a set of built-in controls based on the controls commonly used in Windows applications. WPF significantly reduces the need for custom controls. In part, this is enabled by content models, but as we will see in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9, the extent to which built-in controls can be customized means that custom controls are necessary only in the most specialized of circumstances.
