IBM 3000 manual Radio Buttons, Scroll Bar, Inactive Items

The new value you select or enter appears in the selectable ®eld on the procedure window.

Radio Buttons

A radio button on the Display Touch Screen consists of a diamond and some associated text. Radio buttons allow you to choose between two or more responses or actions. The diamond is highlighted for the active choice. You are allowed only one choice within any set of radio buttons.

Scroll Bar

Some procedure windows and pop-up windows contain a selection list box that has multiple selections. Many selection list boxes have a vertical scroll bar on the right side of the box. This bar allows you to view additional unseen information in the box.

Inactive Items

All pushbutton text, selection list items, and pull-down menu procedures appear regardless of whether they are currently selectable. Not all items are available on all printer models. Items that you cannot select are grayed out, which means the text is faint but readable.

Figure 7. Grayed Out Check Reset Pushbutton

For example, when a printer is in the Ready state, the Check Reset pushbutton is grayed out, but it is not grayed out when a printer is in the Not Ready state.

Note: Except for the ®gure above, none of the selection items, pull-down menu procedures, or pushbuttons that would normally be grayed out on a pull-down menu or procedure window are shown that way in any of the window ®gures in this publication.
