List of common GUI elements

Question

I need a glossary with graphical examples of the elements, followed by their (I hope) standardized names. Is there some kind of centralized resource, or does each infrastructure / platform have its own naming conventions?

Answer 1

The corresponding controls and their official names are usually listed in the respective interface guides for each platform:

• For OS X, there is an Apple Human Interface Guide that has "official" names for the Mac platform (especially in the "Controls" section).
• For the Windows platform, the "UX Interoperability Guidelines for Windows" section on MSDN has Visual Index controls.

Answer 2

As people have said, this will change. However, when I first made the switch to C #, I just googled [element I knew] [language I knew] in [language I didn't know], and that usually did the trick.
