Game Controls
Statusbar
A one-line panel at the screen top or bottom. Used as a base to display persistent information or messages.
Messagebar
Like a Statusbar, but displays a message for a pre-determined time, then fades. The message might be clickable, which could be used to f.i. move the camera to the place of the event etc.
Messagestack
Like a messagebar but capable of displaying several messages, the older ones being pushed down the stack.
Dropicon
Very similar to a message stack: Icons fall from above and stack up at the screen bottom until they expire or are viewed. This is the messaging system the Total War games use.
Contactlist
An adapted tree control where game entities are listed in groupings.
