Description

Status bar

An element of the window that provides information regarding the

 

application status. The status bar is typically at the bottom of the

 

window, oriented horizontally.

Scroll bar

A control within a window, typically along the right or bottom edge,

 

with a slider. The slider can be dragged to scroll the contents of the

 

window, or the arrows at either end can be clicked to advance the

 

slider.

Resize corner

A control within a window, typically at the bottom right corner, that can

 

be dragged to change the size of the window.

Button

A control within a window which, when clicked, gives a command to

 

the application, toggles a setting, displays a pop-up window, or displays

 

a menu.

Text box / Value box

A control which, when clicked, takes ownership of the keyboard cursor

 

and thus allows typed data entry.

 

Some text boxes will accept text, while others accept only numeric

 

values. Some numeric text boxes have arrows which can also be used

 

to increment or decrement the value.

Check box

A control within a window which, when clicked, toggles an indicator.

 

The indicator is typically a checkmark, and indicates whether a feature

 

is enabled or disabled.

Slider / Fader

A control within a window which can be dragged to change the value

 

of the control. The horizontal or vertical position of the control

 

corresponds to its value.

Dial / Encoder

A control within a window which can be dragged to change the value

 

of the control. The location of the control does not change; rather, its

 

orientation is changed.

Icon

A graphic representation of an application, file, or control.
