Dialog Boxes
42 VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started
List boxes display a column of available choices. If there are more choices than can fit in
the open list box, moving the selection through the list will scroll more choices into view.
Use
TAB or type the appropriate access key to move the focus to the list box.
Single selection list boxes allow only one item to be selected from the list at a time. Use
the
UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to select items. Moving to a second item will
automatically deselect all other items.
Drop-down list boxes by default show only the selected item. There is a small button to
the right of the control that shows a downward-pointing arrow. You can click the arrow to
display more items from the list. You also can show or hide the list using
ALT+DOWN
ARROW, ALT+UP ARROW, or F4. In all other respects it behaves like a normal single-selection
list box.
Extended selection list boxes support selecting single items, blocks of items, or
combinations of the two. After selecting an item as in a single-selection list box, hold
down
SHIFT+Navigation keys to select or deselect more items.
Multiple selection list boxes typically have comparatively long lists and more of these
items are expected to be chosen individually (not in blocks). Navigating to items does not
automatically select them nor does selecting an item change the status of other selections.
Press
SPACEBAR to select or deselect an item.
Combo-boxes and drop-down combo boxes are list boxes with attached edit boxes. You
can make your selection by either typing in the edit box or using the standard commands
to select from the list.
The table, “Combo Boxes and Drop-Down Combo Boxes,” summarizes the actions for
keys in combo boxes:
Edit controls are rectangular boxes used for displaying or editing text. Use
TAB or the
appropriate access key to move the focus to the edit control and select the text.
