  • List
  • Table
  • Text Box
  • Label
  • Form
  • Panel
  • Button
  • Combobox
  • Checkbox
  • Checkbox (left hand side)
  • Radio button
  • Radio button (left hand side)
  • Vertical Line
  • Horizontal Line

Example

The icons can be combined on a 'Screen' icon to represent the appearance of a user interface screen, as shown:
