Hi all,

Is there some general naming convention for common interface elements?
I'm looking for names widely used for:
* Hints (Tooltips? Help balloons? ...)
* Popup menu's (Local menu's? Shortcut menu's? ...)
* Toolbar (Button bar? ...)
* Statusbar (Info bar? Summary bar? ...)
* Splitters (... can't think of an alternative here ...)
* Checkboxes (... can't think of an alternative here ...)
* Radiobuttons (... can't think of an alternative here ...)

I'm aware some elements might have different names on different OS'es.
For this excercise, I'm only interested in Windows.
