The TN3270 Emulation Program User Interface
Dialog Boxes
Motif If the dialog also contains a list box, you can double-click on an item in
the list box. This has the effect of performing the action of the default
push button on this item. For example, if the dialog box contains a list of
sessions and <Zoom> is the default push button, double-clicking on a
session zooms on that session.
End of section
Push buttons that appear in the lower right-hand corner of a dialog box
are used to end the dialog. These push buttons do not have an accelerator
key shown, but you can select one or more of the following:
<OK>
Choosing the <OK> push button indicates that you have
finished making any changes to the information in this
dialog, and you want the program to accept the new
information. The program checks the information you
have entered. If any information is incorrect, a warning
or error message is displayed. Otherwise, the dialog is
ended.
<Cancel>
Choosing the <Cancel> push button abandons any
changes you have made to the information in this
dialog and ends the dialog. The Esc key can be used as
an accelerator key for this push button.
<Done>
Choosing the <Done> push button ends dialogs on
which there is no information to be entered. For
example, this pushbutton would be used to end a dialog
that displays a list of sessions and enables you to zoom
in on a particular session.
Check Boxes
Check boxes are used to specify options that are either “on” or “off”
(selected or not selected). They are shown as a pair of square brackets.
When an X is displayed in the brackets, the item is selected. When the
brackets are empty, the item is not selected.
In Figure 2-5, “TN3270 Emulation Screen Showing a Check Box,”
“Session enabled at initialization” is a check box.
