CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS

3000
There is one special type of text box that is used in the CAPTUS
®
3000 for input of
comments that will appear on test reports. In these boxes up to 8,000 characters of
text may be entered. Within the box, text will automatically wrap from one line to the
next as it is typed in. The user may also move to the next line by using the
Enter key.
Ctrl+Tab causes a tab to be entered into the text and the cursor to move to the next
tab position (remember pressing just Tab will move you to the next control).
Scroll Bars
There are two types of scroll bars, horizontal and vertical. They are used to change
the value of some parameter within the program.
When using the pointing device to manipulate a scroll bar there are a number of
actions that will cause the bar to change. Clicking the arrow at an end of the bar will
cause the “value” of the scroll bar to change in that direction by an amount referred to
as a small change. Clicking the bar itself at any location between the end arrow and
the slider will cause the value to change in that direction by an amount referred to as
a large change (usually 8 to 32 times the amount of a small change). The slider may
also be moved by placing the cursor on the slider, pressing the left pointer button
down and holding it there while you “drag” the slider to the desired position.
The scroll bar may also be adjusted from the keyboard. The scroll bar is activated
through the
Tab key. When it is active the slider will blink. The slider can then be
positioned using the following keys:
Up Arrow ................... Moves the slider a small change up or to the right
Right Arrow ............... Moves the slider a small change to the right or up
Down Arrow ............... Moves the slider a small change down or to the left
Left Arrow .................. Moves the slider a small change to the left or down
Home ........................ Moves the slider all the way to the left or down
End ........................... Moves the slider all the way to the right or up
Spin Control
The spin control is also used to adjust values. The control consists of two back to
back arrows. Clicking an arrow with the cursor causes the value under control to
change in the specified direction. The spin button can only be controlled with the
pointing device.
List Controls
There are two types of “list” controls used in the CAPTUS
®
3000. Both appear quite
similar on the screen (refer to bottom of Figure 3-1). The only difference in
appearance is that on the Drop-Down Combo control, the arrow is not attached to text
box portion, while on the Drop-Down List control the arrow is attached. In function
both controls are similar except for one item. On the Drop-Down Combo control the
