This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/questionnaire-item-control defines the following codes:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinition
1group UI controls relevant to organizing groups of questions
2  list ListQuestions within the group should be listed sequentially
2  table Vertical Answer TableQuestions within the group are rows in the table with possible answers as columns. Used for 'choice' questions.
2  htable Horizontal Answer TableQuestions within the group are columns in the table with possible answers as rows. Used for 'choice' questions.
2  gtable Group TableQuestions within the group are columns in the table with each group repetition as a row. Used for single-answer questions.
2  grid Group GridChild items of type='group' within the a 'grid' group are rows, and questions beneath the 'row' groups are organized as columns in the grid. The grid might be fully populated, but could be sparse. Questions may support different data types and/or different answer choices.
2  header HeaderThe group is to be continuously visible at the top of the questionnaire
2  footer FooterThe group is to be continuously visible at the bottom of the questionnaire
2  page PageIndicates that the content within the group should appear as a logical "page" when rendering the form, such that all enabled items within the page are displayed at once, but items in subsequent groups are not displayed until the user indicates a desire to move to the 'next' group. (Header and footer items may still be displayed.) This designation may also influence pagination when printing questionnaires. If there are items at the same level as a 'page' group that are listed before the 'page' group, they will be treated as a separate page. Header and footer groups for a questionnaire will be rendered on all pages.
1display UI controls relevant to rendering questionnaire display items
2  inline In-lineDisplay item is rendered as a paragraph in a sequential position between sibling items (default behavior)
2  unit UnitDisplay item is rendered adjacent (horizontally or vertically) to the answer space for the parent question, typically to indicate a unit of measure
2  lower Lower-boundDisplay item is rendered to the left of the set of answer choices or a scaling control for the parent question item to indicate the meaning of the 'lower' bound. E.g. 'Strongly disagree'
2  upper Upper-boundDisplay item is rendered to the right of the set of answer choices or a scaling control for the parent question item to indicate the meaning of the 'upper' bound. E.g. 'Strongly agree'
2  flyover Fly-overDisplay item is temporarily visible over top of an item if the mouse is positioned over top of the text for the containing item
2  help Help-ButtonDisplay item is rendered in a dialog box or similar control if invoked by pushing a button or some other UI-appropriate action to request 'help' for a question, group or the questionnaire as a whole (depending what the display item is nested within)
2  legal legal-ButtonDisplay item is rendered in a dialog box or similar control if invoked by pushing a button or some other UI-appropriate action to request 'legal' info for a question, group or the questionnaire as a whole (depending what the display item is nested within)
1question UI controls relevant to capturing question data
2  autocomplete Auto-completeA control which provides a list of potential matches based on text entered into a control. Used for large choice sets where text-matching is an appropriate discovery mechanism.
2  drop-down Drop downA control where an item (or multiple items) can be selected from a list that is only displayed when the user is editing the field.
2  check-box Check-boxA control where choices are listed with a box beside them. The box can be toggled to select or de-select a given choice. Multiple selections may be possible.
2  lookup LookupA control where editing an item spawns a separate dialog box or screen permitting a user to navigate, filter or otherwise discover an appropriate match. Useful for large choice sets where text matching is not an appropriate discovery mechanism. Such screens must generally be tuned for the specific choice list structure.
2  radio-button Radio ButtonA control where choices are listed with a button beside them. The button can be toggled to select or de-select a given choice. Selecting one item deselects all others.
2  slider SliderA control where an axis is displayed between the high and low values and the control can be visually manipulated to select a value anywhere on the axis.
2  spinner SpinnerA control where a list of numeric or other ordered values can be scrolled through via arrows.
2  text-box Text BoxA control where a user can type in their answer freely.

CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
