5 – 62 Basic methods
Setting values
In dialog boxes, you will find yourself adjusting values. The following tech-
niques apply:
Typing values
As in most other Windows programs you can “tab to” or click directly on
a value and type in a new one.
Using the spin controls/value fields
Values can be set using either the regular Windows spin controls, or any
of the other methods described below.
• Clicking either arrow raises/lowers the value.
• Keeping the mouse button pressed over an arrow will “scroll” the value.
• Holding down [Ctrl] makes the value change in larger steps.
• Holding down [Ctrl]+[Shift] changes the value to its minimum/maximum.
• The last adjusted control can be changed using the [↑] and [↓] keys, also in com-
bination with [Ctrl] or [Ctrl]+[Shift] as described above.
• You can also click and hold in the value field and move the pointer up or down to
change values.
• Pointing in a value field will display the available parameter range.
• The down arrow to the right of the spin controls brings up a history pop-up where
the last applied value change(s) in the current dialog are shown and can be se-
lected.
Using sliders and pop-ups
Many times, the most convenient way of changing a value is using Wave-
Lab’s proprietary sliders and pop-ups:
1. Click with the right mouse button on the spin control (in some windows
you can also double-click with the left mouse button).
2. If a pop-up menu appears, select one of the options on it.
