Publication 2706-817
MessageBuilder software uses dialogs to request information it needs
to carry out a command. After you supply the requested information,
select a command button to confirm or cancel the command.
Dialogs also display additional information and warnings, or explain
why a requested task could not be accomplished.
An ellipsis (...) after a dialog command means another dialog will
open when you choose that command.
Some dialogs provide different sets of options, each on a separate
tab. Select the tab to work with a specific set of options.
A sample dialog:
Spin Control
Tab
Command Button
List Box
Radio Button
Check Box
To move around a dialog:
•
move the mouse pointer to a field and click the left mouse button
•
or press TAB to move forward through fields and SHIFT+TAB to
move backward through fields. Use the arrow keys to select a
radio button
•
or press the ALT key and the underlined letter of a field name
simultaneously. For example, to move to the Return Message
Number check box, press
ALT +R .
