These blessed "system components" do not exist any more. Windows has two or three different ways of doing widgets and so does MacOS while the Unix land never had one.

You can still use the old ones, but they will look old and may not behave like you would expect (hidpi displays, touch screen, etc).

wxWidgets and its bindings to many languages exists if that is what you want.

Writing an uniform interface to GUI widgets on many platforms is very much a non-trivial undertaking, there are plenty of failed attempts over the years.
