Using A Dialogue Box

4.5 Using A Dialogue Box

A dialogue box (like the samples in Figure 4.13) appears when you need to make
selections and enter further information.
You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or by pressing the arrow
keys and the <TAB> key. (<SHIFT> <TAB> moves the cursor backwards.)
Note: If your unit is equipped with a touchscreen, you can use the stylus to tap
on an element in a dialogue box to select or deselect it, display dropdown
menu items, save your selections, and so on.
Dialogue boxes contain one or more of the following elements:
Tab: A tab separates different elements of a dialogue box. Press the <TAB> key
until a tab in the dialogue box is highlighted. To display adjoining tabs, press the
<RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key. To display the information in the next tab from
anywhere in the window, press <CTRL> <TAB>.
Textbox: A textbox requires that you type information. Press the <TAB> key to
highlight the textbox and then type the appropriate information.
Dropdown: This type of menu is identified by up and down arrows next to the
dropdown menu to indicate that additional options are available. Press the <TAB>
key to highlight the menu, and use the arrow keys on your keyboard to cycle through
the options.
