Error Message Box
Error message dialog boxes use the Stop–icon. When a “Stop”–dialog box is shown, the
current operation is terminated.
The dialog box has a description about the failed operation and reason. Pressing F1
(Help) application opens the appropriate help topic that gives information about recom-
mended actions.
The dialog box will also contain an OK button and a Help button.
OK button (default key):
Acknowledges displayed information and terminates current operation. The dialog box is
closed after selection.
Help button (Alt+H):
Opens context-sensitive help (same as F1 key).
Custom Dialog boxes
All custom dialog boxes will contain the predefined buttons as defined below in the sec-

minimize any inconsistencies between implementations.
The buttons will be positioned down the right–hand side of the dialog boxes. The default
action will be OK, except where that default action could result in an
irretrievable failure.
All tuning dialogs that contain tuning results will display the old tuned data read from
the phone before the tuning was performed, as well as the newly tuned data. List boxes
will be used to display lists of data, such as tuning data, test results, etc. The use of Radio
buttons should be limited and carefully considered. The use of radio buttons defines the
number of possible choices available to the user, which may be acceptable for one
project, but not for another.
Buttons
All buttons must be the Microsoft-style of buttons. In general, the default button will be
the Action button, the Close button or the Yes button, but this will depend on the con-
text of the dialog box with which the button is associated.
(Action) button:
Accepts and validates entered settings and values and closes the dialog. If the values
have not been changed, then no action will be taken. The status bar will reflect the sta-
