Value Window Buttons
Value windows display the value of a control and allow
click-and-drag
adjustment, or
direct control
via the keyboard
.
•
Using the mouse
, click-and-drag on the value window to adjust. Some value windows support
left/right, some up/down (as you hover over a button, arrows will appear to let you know which
direction of movement that button supports).
•
Using the arrow keys
, click once with mouse to select the button, and then use up/down –
left/right (depending on the direction supported by that button) to move in the smallest
incremental steps across the button’s range (holding down the arrow keys will move faster
through the range).
•
Using key entry
, double click on the button to open the value window, and directly enter the
value from your keyboard. If you enter an out of range number, the button stays selected but
remains at the current setting (system beeps? If system sounds are on?)
Some processors have
link buttons
between a pair of value windows, allowing click-and-drag
adjustment while retaining the offset between the controls.
Sliders
Click on the slider itself or anywhere within the sliders track. The numerical value of the slider settings
is displayed in a hover window above the slider path.
Hover Box
Hovering boxes will appear and display the control value when hovering with the mouse over the
control.
Multiple Selection of Controls
One of the most powerful features of the WaveSystem is the ability to select and adjust many controls
at the same time. Using the mouse, simply drag-select the desired group of button or graphic controls
by clicking and holding at a point outside the controls and forming a rectangle to include the controls
you wish to adjust. Alternatively, you can hold down Shift while clicking the mouse on any control you
wish to link. This second method is useful when you want to select two (or more) controls that are
separated on the GUI by other controls you do not wish to select.
