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开发者_如何学Go 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.

There is no centralized resource. Different frameworks/platforms can refer to the same elements by different names. Many concepts in the programmers lexicon are referred to by multiple names.

To answer your question, here are some lists of some common controls in MFC and HTML.
