func_documentation_string: Creates a control of specified `type`.
  
  The id for each control is a hash based on `this.form.controls.length`.
  Two subsequent calls will yield the same result, if no controls
  were placed into `this.form.controls` in between.
  
  @private
  @param type {String} One of `checkboxGroup`, `radioGroup`, `inputText`, `selectMenu`.
