The mouse can be used to select any item in a dialog box by moving the cursor with the mouse to the desired
item and clicking on it with the left mouse button.
The OK button accepts the selection(s) made by the user and allows the program to use these selections. The
CANCEL button does not accept the selections made by the user and thus the program uses the previous
selections. Any highlighted button can be selected by striking the ENTER key.
e) LIST BOXES
A list box is another box within a dialog box that lists all choices for an item in the dialog box (for example, a list
of file names). If the list of available entries is longer than the displayed list box, the list box has a vertical scroll
bar that allows the user to scroll through the list.
To operate the scroll bar with the mouse, place the tip of the pointing arrow cursor in the gray hatched area, or
on the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar and click on the left mouse button. If the mouse arrow cur-
sor is in the grey hatched area, then the contents of the list box will move a section at a time. If the mouse cur-
sor is on one of the arrows at the top or bottom, the contents of the list box will move one line at a time. Holding
down the mouse button will cause the movement to be repeated until the mouse button is released.
Once the desired item can be seen, click on the item with the left mouse button to select it. Once an item has
been selected it will be highlighted.
To operate the scrolling of the list box with the keyboard, use the PAGE UP/DOWN keys to move the contents
of the list box a section at a time and the UP/DOWN arrow keys to move the contents one line at a time. Hold-
ing down the keys will cause the movement in the list box to repeat until the key is released.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired item. The selected item is the highlighted one.

Toggle between the insert and overwrite mode. Overwrite mode is indicated by an
underscore character cursor; Insert mode is indicated by a block character cursor.
•

The first keystroke other than the arrow keys will clear the field/box; this enables a new entry without having to

sor first and then do the editing to the entry.
