Question : Easy way of drawing windows / web controls in Photoshop (i.e. Treeview)

A colleague of mine is creating a mockup design of a webapplication in Photoshop CS3. For this, he needs to draw common windows / web controls such as checkboxes, radiobuttons, dropdown listboxes, but also more complex controls such as treeviews, toolbars, splitters, etc...

We use component suites like ComponentArt and Telerik for programming the things like the treeviews. These treeviews use a total of 16 images with dimensions of 19x20 pixels for the different dashes that link the nodes together, a combination of dashes, plus icons and minus icons... As the composition and icons of the treeview nodes are different for each mockup screen, adding in these dash icons is quite some work.

I am wondering if there is any easier way of adding icons / dash images / checkboxes / radiobuttons / etc... to any photoshop document, without using a copy and paste action from an existing image. To my suprise, Adobe still has no built in feature for this (none that I am aware of anyway). You can add new brushes, but these are only in grayscale...

Perhaps there is some trick or plugin that can be used for attaining, filling and maintaining a library of commonly used icons and images for designing screens? Something similar to the windows application stencil in Microsoft Visio? This would be a real time saver when designing windows or web applications in photoshop!!!

Who can help us out?

I have same problem. Then I just made one file where i draw all controlls and then just made action for adding that what I want from that file (open, select layer, copy, paste it for new layer for last selected image)

That have been working fine.

Then I realized that I can make a pattern from my shape, use it with Patter stamp tool. That is so easy to add element what I need.

So make your controll
save it a pattern (Define Pattern)
use Pattern Stamp tool to ad so many that you need.
