The primary mechanism for communicating with a user is a window. Windows provide a general mechanism for displaying text and graphics, typically enclosed by a border.
Associated with windows, elements perform specialized tasks. Elements include gadgets, menus, and timers.
Gadgets are used for specialized input and output. For instance, there are gadgets designed for text input and gadgets that enable users to select from a list of items.
Menus are used to enable users to select actions to be performed.
Timers provide a means for notification of an application when a specified period of time has elapsed.
Menus and certain gadgets contain a list of choices. For instance, a list box has a list of items that a user can select.
