Operator prompts
For actions that require immediate input or acknowledgment to
continue the operation an operator prompt will be displayed by
the control in the message bar. The required data can be entered
with the numerical keypad, and in some instances using the
alphanumeric on screen keyboard.
Cursor
The control uses a highlighted cursor to mark a field for selection or
editing. In some instances, the cursor will default to a field without
highlighting the field. Use the Arrow keys to move the cursor. The
Up Arrow and Down Arrow move the cursor through the fields
available. The Right Arrow will open a field that contains more
choices, or subfolders in the folder tree window. The Left Arrow
will close the menu, or subfolders. The cursor will also change from
a highlighted bar to a text cursor when a field selected is having
data entered.
