Softkeys with an additional checkbox are also used for a number of applications. In the
example below, the left-hand softkey F5 can be used to activate and deactivate the X
cursor in a curve diagram. The other softkeys are used to make other settings affecting
this cursor. The advantage of this combination is that the user can activate/deactivate
a function (here the cursor) using one button and at the same time use the other soft-
keys for additional settings.
Another variant is the combination of several softkeys with checkbox and softkeys with-
out checkbox. The example below shows the softkeys for the MODIFY function, descri-
bed in detail in the section
chapter 4.4.3, "Moving and Resizing Panels and Graphical
on page 135. When a softkey with a checkbox is selected, the softkey bar
remains open so that further settings (e.g. moving a panel) can be carried out. Activat-
ing the other softkeys immediately triggers an action (here, for example, fixing the size
of the panel), whereupon the softkey bar is hidden.
If an external computer keyboard is used, the softkeys can be operated using the F5 to
F12 keys; if a mouse is used, the buttons in the softkey bar can be clicked directly.
When the WINBAR key is pressed, the WINBAR appears in place of the softkey bar;
this is indicated by "Panel List" in the left-hand corner:
The labeled buttons show the names of all panels and graphical windows open in the
current screen. Pressing the associated softkey puts the focus on the corresponding
panel / graphical window, i.e. it becomes active. At the same time, the system returns
to normal operating mode (i.e. the softkey bar).
Hidden panels (see
chapter 4.5.1, "Opening, Operating, Hiding and Closing Panels"
on page 139) are also listed in the WINBAR. If a hidden panel is selected, it is redis-
played on the screen with its previously set size and position; it simultaneously
receives the focus.
The panels and graphical windows displayed in the WINBAR can also be selected by
pressing the F5 to F12 keys on the computer keyboard or by clicking with the mouse.
The panel with the focus can be recognized by the highlighted title bar (as shown here
in the example on the right-hand side):
It is possible to toggle between the softkey bar and WINBAR at any time by pressing
the WINBAR key.
