cal order.
Text boxes
Text boxes come in two variations: Value boxes and normal
text boxes. Value boxes contain up and down arrows beside
them and only allow numerical data. Normal text boxes allow
anything except special characters. Figures 9 and 10 show ex-
amples of text boxes.
If you tap on the up arrow the value of a value box is incre-
mented by one and the down arrow decrements the value by
one. The values are always bounded by a minimum and max-
imum, if you enter a value smaller that the minimum, the min-
imum is used and if you enter a value that is larger than the
maximum the maximum is used
Up-downs
Up-downs are used to change pages or are associated to a
value box as described in previous chapter. If you tap on the
up arrow, the next page is shown or the value is increment by
one. Tapping the down arrow decrements the value or views
the previous page. Pages are usually wrapped around, so
when you tap the up arrow on the last page the first page is
shown and vice versa. Figure 11 shows an example of a page
selector.
