Is there is a generic, widely understood term for GUI elements. I have programmed so many GUI toolkits, I couldn’t tell if Windows-only programmers know what the Java crowd means when they talk about widgets. Does a GTK+ user know what a control is? And does anybody besides me remember gadgets?
Qt uses widgets, Swing uses Components. Most gui programmers will understand what you mean when you say a scroll-widget/component.
