The form owns many sections, such as the top, the detail section, and the
bottom. In turn, the detail section owns, by itself, many controls.
Each object can has some events, but they are generally different (you
cannot Close a control, but you can Close a form) but sometimes, they can
share the same name, or the same purpose. Which one you choose, when they
have the same name, depends on what you want do. Not an event, but quite
similar, and 'visual', is the background color property: setting the
background property of the control is not the same as setting it for a
section or for the form.
Hoping it may help,
