//======================================
class UPrefControls
// The control classes themselves are all private.  That's the point.  They know what
// they're doing.

// So far, the family includes
// CPrefTextEdit, CPrefCheckbox, CIntPrefRadio, and CBoolPrefRadio.  Each of these 
// has a custom constructor template. 
//
// These can be added to any window (not just the preferences dialog).  You add the 
// control to your window in constructor, put in the pref name (eg 
// "browser.foo.bar.mumble") and a number called "mOrdinal". 
//
// In most cases, no code will be required.  The control initializes itself by querying 
// the pref value during FinishCreate(), and updates the associated preference when 
// destroyed.  The latter behavior is determined by a static function call that you 
// should make if the user hits a "cancel" button. 
//
// The meaning of mOrdinal varies with the type of pane.  For a checkbox, mOrdinal 
// is xored with the value when converting between the pref and the control value, 
// allowing a checkbox to be worded in the same or the opposite sense to the pref's
// semantic.  For a boolean radio button group, the one with mOrdinal == 0 corresponds
// to the pref value and updates its corresponding pref, while the other one must have 
// mOrdinal == 1.  For an int radio button group, the one whose ordinal matches the 
// value of the pref gets turned on initially and on destruction, only the one that's 
// on updates its corresponding pref to the value of its  mOrdinal field. 
//
// Future directions might include a popup menu control associated with an int 
// value, an RGAColor pref control, etc. Well, the future is here.  It's done.
