Strategies
Learn about the best practices for strategies such as setting focus, displaying images, text, and localization.
Setting focus and highlighting items
When an item on a screen is in focus, users can initiate an action on the item.
When users use a trackpad, they can move the highlight to set focus on an item. Then they can act on the highlighted item
by clicking the trackpad or using the menu. When users use a touch screen, they interact directly with items on the screen
using a finger. When users interact with an item, the highlight helps them identify the item that they are initiating the action
on.
Cursors and pointers
When users use a trackpad, they can move a cursor or pointer to set focus on an item on a screen. The cursor or pointer
icon can change to indicate its current behavior.
The following cursors and pointers appear in BlackBerry applications:
