Using Controls in Application Windows

Windows and dialog boxes contain controls that help you work with applications. You use controls to manipulate objects, select choices, or type information.

This section describes various types of controls you'll come across while using the desktop. Here's a list of the most common controls:

  • Buttons initiate commands, start actions, or specify options and settings. Types of buttons include push buttons and radio buttons.

  • Check boxes specify options and settings.

  • Text fields provide areas where you can type information.

  • Lists display a scrollable list of choices from which you can select.

  • Sliders provide incremental selection from a range of values.

  • Scroll bars enable you to scroll through a window's contents.
