Like pages and popups, menus feature several smaller components.
Viewport -
A viewport is an area on some menus where a list of files or other items is displayed.
The viewport may sometimes be too small to display the entire list. A scroll bar beside the
viewport allows you to move through the whole list.
Slider -
A slider is a vertical or horizontal bar
that shows the current setting of a function,
such as volume or battery power, within a possible
range of settings. The setting of sliders can be
adjusted by the movement of a slider thumb along
the bar.
Check Box -
A check box is used to enable and
disable an option. A check box is a small box beside
a text label that identifies the option. When the
check box is selected, an X appears inside the box.
Scroll Bar -
Scroll bars are used to navigate through the options in a viewport. These vertical or
horizontal bars have an arrow shaped button (scroll button) at each end. Each time a scroll button
is selected, the list in the viewport will move one interval in the direction of the button’s arrow
(up, down, right or left). Scroll bars can also work like a slider. A slider thumb on the bar
indicates the position of the cursor and can be slid along the bar to reposition the list in the
viewport.
Menu Button -
Menus often include buttons that link to other windows or menus. Selecting a
menu button will usually take you to a window with several options or to a menu with the same
name as the button.
