The IDE does. It just names that "control group".

Every gambas object has an "event name" that is just used at object creation, 
and that is forgotten after.

Moreover, every gambas name has a "Name" property that is initialized with the 
same string used for the event name, unless the control has a control group. 
In that case, the name defined in the IDE is used.

You must understand that the *.form files are transformed in Gambas source 
code by the compiler. So all you see in the IDE can be done by writing code 
by hand.
