We use those objects in our product interface and refer to them as "push pin
buttons." Hope that helps.

Es brillig war. Die schlichte Toven
Wirrten und wimmelten in Waben;
Und aller-mümsige Burggoven
Die mohmen Räth' ausgraben.

Subject: What's it called in the USA, again?
Hello,
In the software I am documenting on some property panels, you have the
option of keeping the panel open when returning to the main interface. To do
this, you click on an object in the top right corner. What is it called?
Is it a thumbtack, a pin or what? I need the USA name.
Sorry that this isnt very clear, but those of you who have come across this
should understand!!
