| Mar 2, 2016 at 14:15 | comment | added | User18 | [email protected] Having learned about contexts I now understand the code you posted. Thanks a lot! Ah, it seems we both had a little problem with typing code when the code contained the code wrapper. | |

@User18 Manipulate`Control is an internal, behind-the-scenes function and I would not expect to find documentation for it. The use of the backtick here is for Context; this Control is in the context Manipulate` . The regular Control is in the System` context. See: reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/Contexts.html

| Mar 2, 2016 at 2:58 | comment | added | User18 | That's most helpful. It is strange that in the MMA Documentation I cannot find information about it, nor the usage of the ` sign acting not as a number mark. Then where should I look them up? | |

@User18 Manipulate`Control seems to be the internal function that Control is transformed into the course of evaluation and Front End formatting. I am attempting to follow internal definitions to arrive at this conclusion. The point is that if I am correct and Control relies upon Manipulate`Control, and the latter only works with Symbols, then the observed behavior is expected if disappointing.

Thank you @Mr.Wizard . The code you wrote is somewhat too complicated for me but I understand the comment following it. Manipulate too allows h[3]. But what is Manipulate`Control?
