Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device built into your Tablet PC
is used to control the movement of the cursor to select
items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed
of a cursor control, left and right buttons, and a scroll
button.
The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only
requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The
left and right buttons function the same as left and right
mouse buttons. The scroll button allows you to navigate
through pages quickly without using the scroll bars. The
actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending
on the application that is being used. (Figure2-20)

CLICKING

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the right button once, and then immedi-
ately release it. (Figure2-21)

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
and release the left button twice. (Figure2-22)

DRAGGING

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button
while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to
the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left
button while moving the item to its new location
and then release it. (Figure2-23)
