See windows terminology for a description of all the windows controls.

There is no real distinction in .NET between a window and a dialog box and both are referred to as "Forms".  The facilities available on a form vary, for example:

•Forms, when displayed, may disable any underlying forms until it is closed

•The size of a form may be changeable, including full screen and minimised

•Forms will have some controls and may also have a menu, toolbars, and a status bar

In this manual "Tool window" is a form without a menu and a small title bar.

Later in this section there is an alphabetic list of menus, context menus, toolbars and shortcut keys.

There are also separate sections that cover tool windows and user controls.
