for the value property. The interpretation varies depending on
the type of the control

\item sliderstep - a two vector [min_step max_step]
that controls the amount the slider value changes when
you click the mouse on the control. If you click the arrow
for the slider, the value changes by min_step, while if
you click the trough, the value changes by max_step.
Each value must be in the range [0,1], and is a percentage
of the range max-min.
\item string - string - the text for the control.
\item style - @|{'pushbutton','toggle','radiobutton','checkbox',
'edit','text','slider','frame','listbox','popupmenu'}|.
\item tag - string - user specified label.
