It depends which components, some of them (such as the ones you listed)
are included in the MSDN Library (VB Help), and have help/examples.

There are many others which have no information at all, which you'll just have to add to a project to see what they do.

normally yes ("Common Controls" add multiple controls).

you first need to install them on your machine (which may be done already with another program, such as Acrobat), then in the components list click the "Browse" button and select the file.
