Tabbed Dialog Boxes
Some dialog boxes use tabbed pages to subcategorize groups of many options. Each tabbed page
contains different groups of controls. Use Tab to move the focus between tabs within a dialog box.
Typing the mnemonic for a tab also moves the focus to the tab and displays its page of controls.
The following table lists keyboard navigation rules within tabbed dialog boxes:
Listboxes
Listboxes display a column of available choices. There are different kinds of listboxes with
additional navigation conventions:
◆ Drop-down listboxes by default show only the selected item. A small button to the right of the
control shows a downward-pointing arrow. Select the arrow to display more items from the
listbox. If there are more choices than can fit in the preset listbox area, a slider appears along
the side of the listbox. Show or hide the list using F4. Enter selects or deselects an item.
◆ Extended selection listboxes support selecting single items, blocks of items, or combinations of
the two. After selecting an item, hold down Shift+ or Ctrl+navigation keys to select or deselect
additional items or blocks of items.
