<p>In the context of a control model which is data-aware, the semantics of <em>default value</em>
(see XReset) is as follows:<br/>
If (and only if) the control is valid bound to a column of its com::sun::star::form::component::DataForm, and the form
is not positioned on a new record (see com::sun::star::sdb::RowSet::IsNew), then
XReset::reset() does not reset the model's value to its default value, but uses the
underlying column value.<br/>
In all other cases, the model is reset to the default value as specified by the respective property.</p>
<p>For an example, have a look at the com::sun::star::form::component::TextField. It inherits
the com::sun::star::awt::UnoControlEditModel::Text property from the underlying
service, and additionally specifies the com::sun::star::form::component::TextField::DefaultText.
</p>

<ul><li>The form is reset by invoking its XReset interface.</li>
<li>The form moves to a new record.</li>

/** references to a control model within the same document which should be used as a label.
<p>Any user interface action which needs to refer to the control is assumed to use this
property. <br/>
A very common design method for forms is to group a data aware control with a label control,
with the latter describing the content of the former. For instance, you may have a
com::sun::star::form::component::TextField, which is bound to the e-mail
column of your data source. Then you will probably add a
com::sun::star::form::component::FixedText whose label is "E-Mail",
and associate it with the TextField by setting it as #LabelControl.<br/>
Now if you imagine a component offering data search in a form, this component will examine
the #LabelControl property, find the com::sun::star::form::component::FixedText,
examine it's label, and use this label to refer to the com::sun::star::form::component::TextField.
</p>
<p>When setting the property, a number of constraints apply:
<ul>
<li>The object which is to be set has to support the following interfaces
<ul><li>com::sun::star::awt::XControlModel</li>
<li>com::sun::star::lang::XServiceInfo</li>
<li>com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet</li>
<li>com::sun::star::container::XChild</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It has to be a part of the same document as the model who's property is to be modified.</li>
<li>Additionally, the support of a special service, indicating that the model is of the right type,
is required. Which kind of service is in the request depends on the type of the control model.<br/>
For instance, text fields (com::sun::star::form::component::TextField) can be
labeled by label controls only (com::sun::star::form::component::FixedText),
and radio buttons (com::sun::star::form::component::RadioButton) can be labeled
by group boxes (com::sun::star::form::component::GroupBox) only.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
