Easy enough for you and me, but imagine a newcomer with the same 
question for implementing that standard OS control type.

Sure, I can make two objects to get the appearance and behavior of one, 
  and I suppose there's an upside here:  such controls are commonly used 
in drawing environments, and there are so many other challenges inherent 
in doing such things in Rev that the two-for-one placard control will 
seem easy. :)
