Chapter 3, Accessibility
Dialog Boxes
41
A dark border initially indicates the default button. Press ENTER at any time to choose the
button with a dark border. Use
TAB to move the keyboard focus to the next control, and
add
SHIFT to reverse the direction. When you move the keyboard focus to a command
button it temporarily takes the dark border, but when the keyboard focus is not on a
command button the dark border returns to the default button. Press
SPACEBAR to choose
the command button you selected with
TAB. Use ESC to immediately choose the Cancel
button if there is one. Typing the access key for a command button will immediately carry
out the command.
Check boxes Use
TAB to move between boxes and SPACE to change the check box to the
next state. Typing the access key for a check box also will move the focus to the box and
change is state.
Option controls (also known as radio buttons) are used to select only one option from a
group of options. (Like check boxes, option buttons may represent two or three states.) In
some applications, you can add
CTRL to move to the button without selecting it, then use
SPACEBAR TO CHOOSE the currently selected option button. Typing the access key for an
option control will also move the focus to the control and select it.
Tabbed pages are used to fit many options into a single dialog box. They appear visually
similar to dividers from a notebook. Each page contains separate groups of controls such
as check boxes or option controls. Use
TAB to move the focus to the tab for the currently
visible page. Typing the access key for a page tab also will move the focus to the tab and
display its page.
The table, “Tabbed Pages,” summarizes the actions for the keys in tabbed pages:
Sliders appear as an indicator on a vertical or horizontal gauge. The slider both displays
and sets a value from a continuous range, such as speed, brightness, or volume. Use
TAB
or the appropriate access key to move the focus to the slider.
Spin boxes appear as a text box with up and down arrows used to select from a list of
fixed values. Use
TAB to move the keyboard focus to the text box, then enter a valid value
in the box or use the
UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to select the next higher or lower
values.
