A control block is not associated with the database, and the items in a control block do not relate to table columns within a database.

A control block is a block that does not have a relationship to a database table. Control blocks can contain items of any type (buttons, text items, check boxes, etc.), however, regardless of item type, all of the items in a control block are control items--that is, items that do not correspond to columns in a database table.  
To create a control block:  
1. Select Tools->New Block. Or, in the Object Navigator, position the cursor on or within the Blocks node and choose Navigator->Create.  
The New Block window appears.  
2. Leave the Base Table option set to to indicate that you are creating a control block, not a base table block.  
3. In the Block Name field, enter a name for the block.  
4. (Optional) Set the Sequence ID option to specify the position of the new block in the default block navigation sequence.  
Because this is a control block, none of the other options in the New Block window apply.  
5. Choose OK to create the control block.  
A new control block does not yet contain any items. You can create items in an existing block in the Object Navigator or in the Layout Editor

IS it possible to have for example next button in a control block? if how do you fix the relation with the data block?

control block  basically means when the block is not related to table

Basically when we create it manually and give the query in block.
