List Boxes
A list box contains a list of selections. If a list of selections is too long for the list box, a vertical
scroll bar appears so it is possible to scroll through the selections. Some list boxes also have an
associated selection box that displays the current selection. To select from a list box, click on the
item; it becomes highlighted.
It may be possible to choose more than one selection in some list boxes. If the selections are next
to each other, click on the first selection and then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the
last selection. If the selections are not next to each other, click on the first selection and then hold
down the Ctrl key while clicking on additional selections.
Drop-Down List Boxes
A drop-down list box is similar to a list box, except that only the current selection is initially
visible. To open the list of selections, click on the arrow. Click on a selection to highlight it.
When a selection is made, the drop-down list closes and displays the current selection.
Command Buttons
Command buttons execute commands in a dialog. For example, clicking on the OK button in a
dialog performs the action specified. Clicking on the Cancel button exits the dialog without
performing the action.
Text Boxes
Text boxes allow entry of text or numbers in a dialog. Text boxes appear in a variety of sizes and
shapes. To enter information in a text box, place the cursor in the text box and type. Use the
mouse to select existing text. Use the cursor and Delete keys to edit existing text.
Check Boxes
Check boxes allow selection of a specific attribute or function. Click on a check box to either
select or deselect it. An “X” in a check box means it is selected. An empty check box is not
selected.
Radio Buttons
Use radio buttons to select from a list of mutually exclusive options. When one radio button in a
group is selected, the previously selected radio button is automatically unselected. To select a
radio button, click on the button.
Cutting, Copying, and Pasting
The clipboard is a temporary storage area for cut or copied information. The information stays in
the clipboard until the next time information is cut or copied, or the user exits the MCC. Cutting
deletes the highlighted data. Copying leaves the data but copies the highlighted data to the
clipboard. Pasting pastes data from the clipboard.
