3. I'm also a bit confused about signatures of controls within a
window. I thought I saw one of the documents (or header files) say
that the signature should be the apps signature though I've never seen
that used in any sample apps.

I don't know why they say that. I don't know anyone who does it.

Didn't make sense to me either. I was fairly positive that I read this so I just went digging and found it again. In the document windowscontrols.pdf on page 56 it says:

"Add an application signature and control ID for each button. The
application signature is typically your application?s creator code
(for example, 'surF'). The control ID should uniquely identify the
control within your application. "

Note, it says "..it typically is...", not "it should be".

True, it only says "typically" but when we are trying to figure out the right
way to do something an the documentation says this is what is typically
done then it give us the impression that its the right way. If it also
described other options for signatures we might have then weighed the
different options to determine what is best.
