In addition to the MS/Apple/Sun guides and Alan Cooper's excellent book
("About Face"), you might want to check out Susan Fowler's two volumes on
the subject: "The GUI Style Guide" and "The GUI Design Handbook." The
Handbook presents an alphabetical listing of graphical interface controls,
how they work, what they're good for, tips, traps, and so on. Looking
through either of these books should impart a sense of how to write such a
guide as well (the format and organization).
