Front Panel Control Context Help: Show Control Type

Status: New

Providing additional Context Help information on Controls that contains information as to their "type" (Classic, System, Silver, etc.) as well as their font, font-size, and control-type (indicator, ring, enum, etc.) would be useful.  The utility of this is obvious if you have ever had to modify/update an existing GUI and want to maintain the look and feel when adding new controls -- this would allow you to easily see what was previously used for the existing controls on a GUI.  This "verbose" information could possibly be turned on/off as a Tools->Options->Front Panel setting.
