Everything about Graphical widget
Element of interaction in a graphical user interface
In a graphical user interface (GUI), a graphical widget is an element of interaction, such as a button or a scroll bar. Controls are software components that a computer user interacts with through direct manipulation to read or edit information about an application. User interface libraries such as Windows Presentation Foundation, Qt, GTK, and Cocoa, contain a collection of controls and the logic to render these. Wikipedia →
