Cygnus Editor Operating Manual
1.8 The Software Controls
The Cygnus Editor software utilizes some common Windows controls as well as a
few custom controls for easy editing and entry of parameters and information.
The following controls may be in use throughout the software:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Button. Pressing this will promote a dialog
box for user input or take the action noted on
the button.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Checkbox. This is used to enable or disable
a feature or action taken upon the system.
Checkboxes are normally group based upon
functionality but are often mutually exclusive.
. . . . . Entry box. An entry box generally accepts a
numeric or alphanumeric entry and has
upper and lower boundaries associated with
the parameter. The boundaries are checked
after the entry has been input and the cursor
has been moved to another entry point. The
value in an entry box can be typed over by
clicking once in the box, to focus on the box,
and then typing the new entry. A double-click
in the box will highlight the value, which
allows for the value to be edited or deleted.
. . . . . . Pulldown. A pulldown, indicated with a
downward triangle, provides a list of
acceptable inputs for the parameter. A
highlight is used to select the parameter.
Some entry boxes that use pulldowns can
also be directly edited.
HINT: When editing from the keyboard, the Alt+DownArrow key
combination will "pull" the pulldown.
