Command area
Displays the name of a command that you can initiate. If a
command button has a triangle in the lower right-hand corner, the
command has multiple buttons or options, and clicking on the
triangle displays the options. Some commands are sent
immediately after you initiate them by clicking on the Command
button. Others require you to enter arguments before they can be
sent. When a command requires arguments (additional fields
requiring information to continue with the command), the property
row will expand after you click the command button. You then
complete the additional fields and click the appropriate button
(Send, Command, etc.).
Some object properties support grouping of command buttons
under a single command button with a drop-down list of your
choices. The button you choose from the drop-down list becomes
the new commandable button in the group.
The Send button displays only for commands that require
additional arguments. Clicking the Send button sends a
command after you have entered all required arguments.
Command Types:
Multiple Option Selection:
Visual display of associated properties. Each slot represents a
property option. If a property is selected, it is shaded. Moving
your cursor over the slot allows you to view the property option;
clicking on the slot allows
you to select the option.
