If you have an example of that you'd be willing to share, I'd love to 
see it (preferably the code etc. , not just a description, please).

Did you look at the html files created from the "widgets" sample ?
Is there more detail that you need, or something missing  from there ?

(that's for the first part about details of which controls support which 
methods; I agree more documentation would be good - though I really like 
looking at the samples to see how things are done. Given a choice of a 
certain level of effort in writing docs vs. extending samples to give 
more coverage, I'd put the hours of effort into more examples ...)
