Dial	A dial or knob. This can also be a read-only object, like a speedometer.

Document	A document window, which is always contained within an application window. This role applies only to multiple-document interface (MDI) windows and refers to an object that contains the MDI title bar.

Equation	A mathematical equation.
Graphic	A picture.
Grip	A special mouse pointer, which allows a user to manipulate user interface elements such as a window. For example, a user can click and drag a sizing grip in the lower-right corner of a window to resize it.
Grouping	The objects grouped in a logical manner. There can be a parent-child relationship between the grouping object and the objects it contains.
HelpBalloon	A Help display in the form of a ToolTip or Help balloon, which contains buttons and labels that users can click to open custom Help topics.
HotkeyField	A hot-key field that allows the user to enter a combination or sequence of keystrokes to be used as a hot key, which enables users to perform an action quickly. A hot-key control displays the keystrokes entered by the user and ensures that the user selects a valid key combination.
Indicator	An indicator, such as a pointer graphic, that points to the current item.
IpAddress	A control designed for entering Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
Link	A link, which is a connection between a source document and a destination document. This object might look like text or a graphic, but it acts like a button.

MenuPopup	A menu, which presents a list of options from which the user can make a selection to perform an action. All menu types must have this role, including drop-down menus that are displayed by selection from a menu bar, and shortcut menus that are displayed when the right mouse button is clicked.
None	No role.
Outline	An outline or tree structure, such as a tree view control, which displays a hierarchical list and usually allows the user to expand and collapse branches.
OutlineButton	A control that navigates like an outline item.
OutlineItem	An item in an outline or tree structure.
PageTab	A property page that allows a user to view the attributes for a page, such as the page's title, whether it is a home page, or whether the page has been modified. Normally, the only child of this control is a grouped object that contains the contents of the associated page.
PageTabList	A container of page tab controls.
Pane	A separate area in a frame, a split document window, or a rectangular area of the status bar that can be used to display information. Users can navigate between panes and within the contents of the current pane, but cannot navigate between items in different panes. Thus, panes represent a level of grouping lower than frame windows or documents, but above individual controls. Typically, the user navigates between panes by pressing TAB, F6, or CTRL+TAB, depending on the context.
ProgressBar	A progress bar, which indicates the progress of a lengthy operation by displaying colored lines inside a horizontal rectangle. The length of the lines in relation to the length of the rectangle corresponds to the percentage of the operation that is complete. This control does not take user input.

PushButton	A button control, which is a small rectangular control that a user can turn on or off. A push button, also known as a command button, has a raised appearance in its default off state and a sunken appearance when it is turned on.
RadioButton	An option button, also known as a radio button. All objects sharing a single parent that have this attribute are assumed to be part of a single mutually exclusive group. You can use grouped objects to divide option buttons into separate groups when necessary.
Row	A row of cells within a table.
RowHeader	A row header, which provides a visual label for a table row.
ScrollBar	A vertical or horizontal scroll bar, which can be either part of the client area or used in a control.
Separator	A space divided visually into two regions, such as a separator menu item or a separator dividing split panes within a window.
Slider	A control, sometimes called a trackbar, that enables a user to adjust a setting in given increments between minimum and maximum values by moving a slider. The volume controls in the Windows operating system are slider controls.
Sound	A system sound, which is associated with various system events.
SpinButton	A spin box, also known as an up-down control, which contains a pair of arrow buttons. A user clicks the arrow buttons with a mouse to increment or decrement a value. A spin button control is most often used with a companion control, called a buddy window, where the current value is displayed.
SplitButton	A button that has a drop-down list icon directly adjacent to the button.
StaticText	The read-only text, such as in a label, for other controls or instructions in a dialog box. Static text cannot be modified or selected.
StatusBar	A status bar, which is an area typically at the bottom of an application window that displays information about the current operation, state of the application, or selected object. The status bar can have multiple fields that display different kinds of information, such as an explanation of the currently selected menu command in the status bar.
Table	A table containing rows and columns of cells and, optionally, row headers and column headers.

TitleBar	A title or caption bar for a window.
