Description

Creates a push button user control on the user window specified by windowId. A push button is a button that typically fires off an event.

The control is initially placed in the top-left corner of the user window, and must be placed by using the -pos option, or by using the setControlPos command.

The command returns the control ID of the user control, which should be saved for later operations on the control.
