Dialog Boxes
The SmartPad II software uses dialog boxes for entering or selecting settings and values associated with each menu
item. There are two types of dialog boxes a Pick dialog box and an Alpha-Numeric dialog box. Notice that dialog
boxes also contain an Info Bar and a Key Code box.
Figure 2-3 shows an example of a Pick dialog box. A Pick dialog box allows the user to select from a list of existing
settings or values. Pick dialog settings are displayed using the keys, once the desired setting is displayed in
the dialog box, the setting is accepted or entered by pressing the key, this will also exit from the dialog and return
to the previous menu. The key allows the user to exit the dialog box without changing the setting.
Figure 2-4 shows an example of an Alpha-Numeric dialog box. This type of dialog box is used when the user is
required to enter a particular value such as a distance or a name. The complete value is made up of individual dialog
cells. In Figure 2-4, the final value is 22.0 feet and the current or highlighted cell is the 0. To enter 22.0 ft., the user
can use the on-screen keyboard by selecting the keyboard button or by selecting a 2 using the keys until a
2 was displayed. Next the user moves to the next cell, using the keys and selects another 2 using the same
method as the first 2. Finally the user moves to the decimal location and selects a 0. To accept the entire 22.0 ft. value
and return to the previous menu page, the user simply presses the key. The user can exit the dialog without chang-
ing the setting by pressing the key.
