Dialog boxes
List boxes display a column of available choices. If there are more choices than
can fit in the open list box, moving the selection through the list will scroll more
choices into view. Use
TAB or type the appropriate access key to move the focus
to the list box.
Single selection list boxes allow only one item to be selected from the list at a
time. Use the
UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to select items. Moving to a second
item will automatically deselect all other items.
Drop-down list boxes by default show only the selected item. There is a small
button to the right of the control that shows a downward-pointing arrow. You
can click the arrow to display more items from the list. You also can show or
hide the list using
ALT+DOWN ARROW, ALT+UP ARROW, or F4. In all other respects it
behaves like a normal single-selection list box.
Extended selection list boxes support selecting single items, blocks of items, or
combinations of the two. After selecting an item as in a single-selection list box,
hold down
SHIFT+Navigation keys to select or deselect more items.
Multiple selection list boxes typically have comparatively long lists and more of
these items are expected to be chosen individually (not in blocks). Navigating to
items does not automatically select them nor does selecting an item change the
status of other selections. Press
SPACEBAR to select or deselect an item.
Combo-boxes and drop-down combo boxes are list boxes with attached edit
boxes. You can make your selection by either typing in the edit box or using the
standard commands to select from the list.
Table 3-5 summarizes the actions for keys in combo boxes:
Edit controls are rectangular boxes used for displaying or editing text. Use
TAB
or the appropriate access key to move the focus to the edit control and select the
text.
