{OpenLayers.Control} The control which is activated when the control is activated (turned on), which also happens at instantiation. If saveState is true, defaultControl will be nullified after the first activation of the panel.

The OpenLayers.Control.type of a control determines the behavior when clicking its icon: OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_TOOL - The control is activated and other controls of this type in the same panel are deactivated. This is the default type. OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_TOGGLE - The active state of the control is toggled. OpenLayers.Control.TYPE_BUTTON - The <OpenLayers.Control.Button.trigger> method of the control is called, but its active state is not changed.
If a control is OpenLayers.Control.active, it will be drawn with the olControl[Name]ItemActive class, otherwise with the olControl[Name]ItemInactive class.
