Dialog boxes
VEA help additions to Microsoft keyboard conventions
Table 3-3 summarizes the keyboard additions to the Microsoft keyboard
conventions in the VEA implementation of mnemonics and accelerators:
Dialog boxes
Dialog boxes often contain groups of controls necessary to set options or
settings for programs.
You can select or choose controls that have an underlined letter in their titles by
typing
ALT + the underlined letter at any time when the dialog box is active. TAB
moves the keyboard focus between controls, but which controls are included in
the focus sequence, and the order of the sequence, may vary between
applications. Typically, items that cannot be changed are not visited by the
TAB
key. Arrow keys are used to move within a list box, groups of option controls, or
groups of page tabs. Arrow keys can move the keyboard focus between other
controls but this behavior is not reliable. Options that are unavailable appear
dimmed and cannot be selected.
While the controls described here are typically found on dialog boxes, they also
can occur in other contexts.
Command buttons, such as the OK button, carry out the command using the
information supplied in the dialog box. Other command buttons let you cancel
the command or choose from additional options.
Command buttons marked with an ellipsis (...) open another dialog box so you
can provide more information or confirm an action.
