Eto.Forms comes with a standard set of controls. Controls can be subclassed to override or implement behaviour. Each control has an implementation for each supported platform, which can be customized or replaced entirely if a particular implementation is not suitable for your use.

Custom controls can either be composed entirely of Eto.Forms controls, which would work across all platforms. If you wish to create a more complex control, or use functionality of a platform that isn't exposed in Eto.Forms, then you can create your own custom controls with implementations for each platform (see Custom Platform Controls).

The standard controls are:
