Graphical User Interface (GUI)
An interface that enables you to interact with a software application
through graphical elements, such as icons. A GUI can:
n Provide immediate feedback on actions taken
n Provide lists of valid values
n Enable you to make selections (instead of type responses)
n Display informational, error, and warning messages.
Looking at Windows
Each window is a GUI that is designed to guide you through a task as you
perform it. This section describes the items that appear in a GUI, enabling you
to enter data, make a selection, or initiate a system process.
NOTE: Depending on the type of system you are using (such as PC,
HP-Unix™, Solaris™), the GUIs you see may look slightly different
from the illustrations shown in this manual, which were captured
from a PC-based system.
IFU Link Manager uses two types of windows:
Frame
Top-level window that contains maximize, minimize, and close
buttons, and a title bar that you can click and drag to move the
window anywhere on your desktop. You can resize a frame window
as required.
Multiple Document Interface
Second-level window that displays only within the boundaries of a
top-level window. You can move or resize a multiple document
interface window only within those boundaries.
NOTE: Within the IFU Link Manager application, a multiple
document interface window displays only within the
boundaries of the WorkSpace window.
