Using the mouse
Two common mouse operations are:
• Clicking – Pressing and releasing a mouse button.
• Dragging – Holding down a mouse button, moving the mouse, and then releasing the
button.
Note: When the word “click” or “drag” is used in this documentation, and no mouse
button is specified, use the LEFT mouse button. When the right button should be used
you will be explicitly instructed to do so.
Use the right mouse button to bring up a context-sensitive menu in most applications.
Pointers
As the mouse is moved, the pointer sometimes changes to provide feedback. Here are the
pointers most often seen:
Basic pointer - point to objects to be selected
or to indicate where the cursor should be
positioned.
Busy pointer - Indicates that an operation is
in process and must finish before data entry
can be resumed.
Resize pointer - appears when the pointer
passes over a window frame; the two arrows
indicate the direction the window can be
resized.
Move pointer - appears when the pointer
passes over a window title bar; simply hold
down the mouse button and drag the window
to a new location.
I-beam pointer - appears in text-entry fields
to indicate that the application is ready to
accept keyboard input.
No-input pointer - Indicates the window is
not accepting input.
