How to use selection controls

The following selection controls are used in this program (i.e. for lists of items, navigating, etc.), each providing a slightly different method of selection:

• Check boxes:
  This toggle control has two states - checked or not checked .
  Check boxes allow you to select items independent of other items in a selection list (e.g., selecting 2 out of 5 parts in a list).
• Radio Button:
  This toggle control has two states - selected or not selected .
  Radio buttons are similar to checkboxes, but are intended to be mutually exclusive within a group of related radio buttons (e.g., only one button is in a selected state at any given time). To activate a radio button, click the mouse on the button.
• Popup menus:
  Popup menus open to display a list of choices when you press the down arrow .
  When open, a popup menu displays a menu of all available choices:
  
  
  
  When not open, a popup menu displays the current choice:
  
  
  
  Unless you change the selection the current choice is typically the first item in the list. Popup menus, like radio buttons, provide you with a number of mutually exclusive choices.
• Links:
  Text(usually underlined) or images on a Web page that you can click to go to another part of the same page, go to a different Web page.
• Push Buttons:
  Push buttons generate an action when pressed (e.g., an OK button may close a dialog box and apply settings).
  When you click down on a push button, it appears depressed; when you release the mouse, the button's appearance returns to its nondepressed state and it executes the command.

Notes

• Scrolling may be necessary to complete selections when all the information available to a page cannot viewed because of the window size or display settings. To scroll move the scrollbar by pressing the mouse button and dragging the slide, by clicking in the trough, or by clicking an arrow. The location of the scrollbar for adjusting the horizontal viewing range will usually be located at the bottom of the page and at the right side of the page for vertical adjustments. This is equivalent to using the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys on your keyboard.
