Edit box: This is a control which prompts the user for input and has a prompt
variable associated with it.

v

Checkbox: This is a control which enables a user to choose multiple selections
from a list for which checkbox has been selected in its properties, and whose
text does not begin with an ampersand (&) character.

v

Radio button: This control enables a user to make a single choice from a list in
which all of the choices are mutually exclusive.

The user navigates through the menu by selecting items. That is, the next menu to
appear in the interface is determined by which menu item the user selects. In
ImageUltra Builder 5.0 it is possible to create a menu that consists solely of
unselectable static text items. Also, in a multi-select menu, the user can select zero
or more check boxes. To determine which menu should appear next in these
situations, the following rules are enforced:

v

For single-select lists (lists with radio buttons):
Since one, and only one, radio button must be selected before the user can
continue to the next menu, the selected radio button determines the next menu.

v

for multi-select lists (lists with check boxes):
If one or more check boxes are selected, the last selected checkbox determines
the next menu. If no check box is selected, the last selected checkbox determines
the next menu to appear as well.

v

for lists consisting solely of unselectable static text items:
The last static text item determines the next menu.

Menu item text is automatically flowed (i.e. word-wrapped) to fit within the client
area of the map viewer window. The text associated with a menu item may contain
certain HTML elements. The following elements are recognized:

v

<B></B>
Causes the text within the elements to be boldfaced;

v

<I></I>
Causes the text within the elements to be italicized;

v

<U></U>
Causes the text within the elements to be underlined;

v

<Tab></Tab>
Causes the text within the elements to be tabbed;

v

<BR>
Causes a line break within the text;

v

<NOBR>
Turns off normal word-wrapping for the text within these elements;

v

ACCEL
Immediately precedes the character which represents the mnemonic for the
menu item. A mnemonic, sometimes called a keyboard accelerator, is a character
which, when typed simultaneously with the ALT key depressed, results in focus
being set to the control represented by the menu item. (If the item is a checkbox
or radio button, it is also selected).
