<function name="DefineControl" parent="derma" type="libraryfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
Defines a new Derma control with an optional base.⤶
⤶
This calls <page>vgui.Register</page> internally, but also does the following:⤶
* Adds the control to <page>derma.GetControlList</page>⤶
* Adds a key "Derma" - This is returned by <page>derma.GetControlList</page>⤶
* Makes a global table with the name of the control (This is technically deprecated and should not be relied upon)⤶
* If reloading (i.e. called this function with name of an existing panel), updates all existing instances of panels with this name. (Updates functions, calls <page>PANEL:PreAutoRefresh</page> and <page>PANEL:PostAutoRefresh</page>, etc.)⤶
