RayTech RNS V6.0 - Users Guide
Action box
Action boxes are contained in a selection dialog box and change a param-
eter. Click an action box to cycle through settings, or cause a drop-down
menu or on-screen keyboard to be displayed, allowing you to change the
parameter as required.
Data box
A databox displays information dedicated to a specific function, such as,
navigation, VRM/EBL’s. Because it displays dedicated information, the
contents of the box are updated in real time.
Databoxes can be floated, moved to any position and then docked. They
can be resized, just like a databox in any Windows program. They can be
opened and closed as required.
Alert and information dialog box
An alert and information dialog box informs you that something has
happened within the application that needs your approval, or tells you that
you need to select an option, usually ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Once you have accepted
the option, the dialog box is automatically removed from the screen.
