Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Graphical User Interface Guide

■ Tab moves focus between controls within the dialog box along a preset
sequence.
■ Controls displaying a mnemonic (an underlined letter) can be selected
regardless of focus by typing ALT and the underlined letter.
■ A dark border indicates the default command button. Press Enter at any time
to choose the button with a dark border.
■ ALT C chooses the Cancel button if one exists. The ESC key also cancels an
action. You can press ESC any time even if there is no Cancel button.
■ Spacebar chooses a control you select with Tab.
■ Spacebar changes the state of a checkbox or radio button that has focus. Typing
a mnemonic (if one is available) will move the focus to the checkbox or radio
button and change its state.
■ Arrow keys move focus within listboxes, sliders, groups of option controls, or
groups of page tabs.
■ Items that cannot be changed are not visited by the Tab key sequence. Options
that are unavailable are grayed-out and can neither be selected nor given focus.
While the controls described here are typically found in dialog boxes, they also
can occur in other contexts. The same navigation standards will apply.
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.
