# Controls and indicators Display values and get user selections. ## Overview SwiftUI provides controls that enable user interaction specific to each platform and context. For example, people can initiate events with buttons and links, or choose among a set of discrete values with different kinds of pickers. You can also display information to the user with indicators like progress views and gauges.  Use these built-in controls and indicators when composing custom views, and style them to match the needs of your app’s user interface. For design guidance, see , , and in the Human Interface Guidelines. ## Topics ### Creating buttons [`Button`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Button) A control that initiates an action.
