Error Messages and Dialogs

USING YOUR SWITCH

From time to time, it will be necessary to display messages to the user indicating errors or requesting simple answers to questions. These pop-up screens use the familiar format of title bar and window body, which contains the text of the message. It includes appropriate response controls such as OK and Cancel buttons, based on the nature of the message.

The Login dialog is a simple window with radio buttons to select the user, and an edit box for the user to enter a password. If the user is already logged-in, pressing “Cancel” returns the user to his or her current login (or guest, if the account is enabled). If the user is not logged in, and guest is disabled, pressing cancel will close the OSD.

Help Screens

Online help is available within IntelliView. Simply press the F1 key, or click on the “?” button on the right side of the title bar.
