Hi Mohit,

Below will provide you information about Control Framework.

See the PDF given below

http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIGOF/BCCIGOF.pdf

To have a good understanding of the Control Framework have a look at this:

Here is a very brief introduction to Control Frameworks:

The GUI in the SAP R/3 System is based on SAP GUI windows (screens).Each user dialog in the system is implemented using screens in an application program.At runtime,application programs and screens communicate using runtime system services(ABAP and screen processor) and other services from the SAP GUI.

From R/3 Release 4.5 onwards,developers have been able to use graphical elements in SAP GUI windows,known as controls,as well as those provided by the Screen Painter.These additional screen elements are known as controls.Controls are reusable standalone software components.You can use controls in your user dialogs for a range of functions.

Communication between the control and your application takes place through different channels to "classic" screen elements.From the SAP R/3 Release 4.6A onwards,the communication channel for all controls is the SAP Control Framework(CFW).The Control Framework is implemented using special services in the SAP GUI and the runtime system on the application server(the

Automation Controller on the presentation server and the CFW service on the application server).

The control on the presentation server can have events,which could be triggered by user actions on the screen.A standalone instance of a control cannot be created on the presentation server.Two components should always be present-

a screen and a special control called a container control.The container control attaches a control to the screen.Some of the commonly used containers are custom container,splitter container,docking container.

Some of the commonly used controls are trees,ALV Grids,Text Editors,HTML Controls,Picture Control.You can explore about each of these controls one by one.
