• by using the Tab key to select a box and then using the Space Bar to activate
or deactivate the box, or
• positioning the pointing device over the desired line and double-clicking will

Note: If your system includes the optional Touchscreen Monitor, the status of a

Text Entry Box
The text box is used whenever input of numeric or alphanumeric information is
required.
A text box can be selected in one of two ways:
• positioning the pointing device over the box and clicking the pointing device's
left button once, or
• using the Tab key on the keyboard to move from control to control until the
desired text box is highlighted or the cursor appears in the text box.
Note: If your system includes the optional Touchscreen Monitor, when touching in a
text box, a pop-up Keyboard icon will appear. Touching the Keyboard icon will
display a keyboard on the screen. Also note that it is not necessary to use the
on-screen keyboard. The attached keyboard can still be used as described.
When a box is highlighted, typing will replace the highlighted information and the
previous contents will be lost. If you wish to edit the existing information use either the
left or right arrow (ï‚‘ or ï‚’) to move the cursor to the appropriate location. As soon as
the cursor moves the highlight will be removed. The contents of the text box can then
be edited. The following control keys are active during editing:
Delete ....................... Deletes the character after the cursor
Backspace ................ Deletes the character before the cursor
Right Arrow ............... Moves one character to the right
Left Arrow ................. Moves one character to the left
End ........................... Moves to the end of the input
Home ........................ Moves to the beginning of the input
Some text input boxes provide input verification. If the information typed in the box is
invalid, i.e. does not match the requested format (for example, an input in a box
requesting a date of 13/45/92) or falls outside the range of valid values, a warning
message will be given and the user will be forced to edit or re-input the information.
When the information in a text box is highlighted it indicates that the data is provided
by the system and cannot be edited by the user.
