I just stumbled across this blog post by Freak from 2010.
API Programming: What’s behind the PB GUI objects
Wouldn't it be cool if the content were an official and up-to-date part of the IDE or help section?
Because I'm not sure when reading it whether it's up to date.

That's a very nice idea!

You are right that the GUI object table is not up-to-date. For MacOS it's still displaying the Carbon objects although the last PB version to support the deprecated Carbon framework as a subsystem (beneath the Cocoa framework) is PB 5.11.

12 years ago I therefore added a column with the Cocoa objects in this posting.

For Linux only the outdated Gtk2 objects are listed but not the actual Gtk3 objects.

So +1 from me!

Shardik,
thats cool, thanks.
And that shows the problem with blogs and forum posts. At some point, they simply can no longer be found, are outdated, etc.

BTW: You should define your collection of cross platform examples as requirements. That would get my vote.
