The list of common GUI elements [closed]

I need a glossary with graphical examples of elements accompanied by their (I hope) standardized names. Is there some centralized resource or every framework/platform out there has it's own naming conventions?

Relevant controls and their official names are typically listed in the respective Interface Guidelines for each platform:

  • For OS X, there's the Apple Human Interface Guidelines which has the "official" names for the Mac platform (see especially the "Controls" chapter).
  • For the Windows platform, the Windows UX Interaction Guidelines portion of the MSDN has a Visual Index of controls.

As people have already said, it will vary. However, when I first made the transition to C#, I simply googled [element I knew] [language I knew] in [language I didn't know] and that usually did the trick.
