Examples

To use: (programmatically)

// in constructor or LoadContent

// button
_control1 = new Button("btnApply", "TextureNormal", "TextureActive", "TextureHover", "TextureDisabled")
{
    Size = new PointI(100, 25),
    Color = Color.Green
};
_control1.SetPosition(new PointI(50, 50));
_control1.AddPackage(new ControlClick(ApplySettings)); // will call method ApplySettings(object o, EventArgs args) when clicked with mouse

// label
_control2 = new Label("lblHealth", "arial")
{
    Size = new PointI(100, 25),
    ContentAlignment = Alignment.TopRight,
    Text = "Health:",
    TextColor = Color.Green,
    BorderColor = Color.Red
};
_control2.SetPosition(new PointI(10, 10));

// frame
_control3 = new Frame("frmMain")
_control3.AddControl(_control1, _control2);
_control3.SetPosition(new PointI(100, 100));

// in LoadContent
_control3.LoadContent(content, true);

// in Update
_control3.Update(_input, (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds);

// in Draw
spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Deferred, BlendState.AlphaBlend);
_control3.Draw(spriteBatch);
spriteBatch.End();

(descriptively)

// in constructor or LoadContent
_controls = ControlCreator.CreateFromResource("Game1.PanelControls.txt", new KeyValuePair<string, string>("backgroundColor", "CornflowerBlue"));

// in LoadContent
_foreach (var control in _controls)
{
    control.LoadContent(content, true);
}

// in Update
foreach (var control in _controls)
{
    control.Update(_input, (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds);
}

// in Draw
spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Deferred, BlendState.AlphaBlend);
foreach (var control in _controls)
{
    control.Draw(spriteBatch);
}
spriteBatch.End();
