Reinstall ControlEvent

This event can be published by a PushButton control or a SelectionTree control. This event should be authored into the ControlEvent table, and requires the user interface to be run at the full UI level. This event does not work with a reduced UI or basic UI. For more information, see User Interface Levels.
