13.3 Instant Message Dialog Box
If you press “enter” on an item in the contact list box, the instant
message dialog box will appear. The instant message dialog box
consists of “history” window, “input” edit box, “send” and “close”
buttons. The “history” window lists all the messages that have been
sent to and from other contacts. In the “input” edit box, you can type
your message to be sent to another person. You can move between
these controls by pressing “tab (space-4-5)” or “shift-tab (space-1-2).”
When you are sending an instant message, the “input” edit box will be
focused when the dialog box appears. On the other hand, if the
dialog box was opened to read received messages, the “history”
window will be focused. In the “input” edit box, you can type one line,
and by pressing “enter,” you can send the message. You can also
move to the “send” button, and press “enter” to send the message.
Then the message will also be added to the “history” window. In the
“history” window, for each message, the nickname of the person who
wrote the message will be displayed first, and then the content of the
message will be displayed. Each message is considered as a
paragraph. When you are in the instant message dialog box, if the
other person sends a message, the message will be displayed in
Braille and announced in speech immediately. If you receive a
message while the focus is at the “input” edit box, the focus will not
be changed. If the focus is at the “history” window, the content of the
window will not be updated until you move to another control and go
back to the “history” window.
While you are in the instant message dialog box, you can move to the
contact list box by pressing “space-1-2-6” (or F1-F2) or “space-3-4-5”
(or F3-F4). If you press the key again, you will go back to the instant
message dialog box. More than one instant message dialog box can
be opened at the same time. For example, while you are in an
instant message dialog box, if you go to the contact list box by
pressing “space-1-2-6,” and press “enter” on another contact, another
instant message dialog box will be opened.
