Edit Field
The purpose of an edit field is to browse and edit information in the form of
a text string.
A text string can be edited only via the keyboard. Clicking the mouse moves
the focus to the edit field. When an edit field gets the focus, the string in it
becomes highlighted. Typing anything over a highlighted string removes the
old contents of the field and replaces it with newly typed characters. You can
cancel highlighting by pressing the
Left
or
Right
arrow keys, and then you
can edit the contents of the field. Current editing position is marked with a
rectangular cursor. Aside from
Left
and
Right
arrow keys and the mouse
you can use the following keys when editing a string:
•
Home
moves the cursor to the beginning of the string;
•
End
moves the cursor to the end of the string;
•
Backspace
deletes a character to the left from the cursor;
•
Del
deletes the character under the cursor.
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software uses edit field for:
•
Entering an archive filename as well as its full path;
•
Entering a password and its confirmation.
Spinner
A spinner is a special type of field:
Its special feature is that you can either enter the desired value manually or
use the up and down arrows in the right part of the spinner to scroll the
value of the field. While you keep one of these buttons pressed (by holding
the left mouse button pressed above the arrow) the contents of the field will
either decrease or increase.
Acronis TrueImage Deluxe software uses spinners for:
•
Entering volume size of an archive file,
•
Changing partition size and location at its restoration.
