4.4 The Win+Drive Screen Layout
The Win+Drive screen layout closely resembles the layout of Windows MD1 applications (Multiple Docu-
ment Interface) like Microsoft Word or Excel. The main window includes a menu bar, a toolbar and a block
selection bar at the top and a statusbar at the bottom. Between these bars there is the client area where one or
more child windows can appear. If the size of the child windows is larger than the client space of the main
window scroll bars appear which can be used to move the actual visible portion of the total client area that is
used by all child windows.
The Win+Drive main window can be
minimized, resized and maximized by the standard methods of Win-
dows. In most cases it will be run in maximized mode.
4.4. I Menus
The menus are located at the top of the main window. Each menu item can be accessed by the standard
methods of Windows (clicking by the mouse or keycodes). A complete overview of all menu items is given in
Chapter 3.
4.4.2 Toolbar
The toolbar provides a fast method to access often used menu items. Clicking one of the toolbar buttons
equals accessing the equivalent menu item.
