Input Behavior
Buttons and input controls use input ports to update displayed values, selected states, visibility, or control behavior.
The exact input behavior depends on the selected graphic.
Output Behavior
Buttons and input controls send values through output ports when the user interacts with them.
The PrimaryOutPort is used by many controls in this group to send the current value, selection state, or user action into application logic.
Logic Behavior
Many graphics in this group include default logic ports such as:
- PrimaryOutPort

Some graphics include additional ports depending on the selected control.
The exact ports are documented on each individual graphic page.
