`
`The width of the list box should be sufficient
`
`to display the average
`
`width of an entry in the list If that
`
`is not practical because of space
`
`or the variability of what
`
`the list might include
`
`consider
`
`one or more
`
`of the following options
`
`Make the list box wide enough to allow the entries in the list to be
`
`sufficiently
`
`distinguished
`
`Use an ellipsis .. in the middle or at
`to shorten them while preserving the important characteristics
`needed to distinguish them For example for long paths usually
`
`the end of long text entries
`
`the beginning and end of the path are the most critical
`use an ellipsis to shorten the entire name \Sample\.
`
`you can
`
`.\Example
`
`Include
`
`horizontal scroll bar However this option reduces
`
`some
`
`usability because adding the scroll bar reduces
`
`the number of
`
`entries the user can view at one
`
`time In addition if most entries
`
`in the list box do not need to be horizontally
`
`scrolled including
`
`horizontal scroll bar accommodates
`
`the infrequent case
`
`When
`
`the user clicks
`
`an item in
`
`list box it becomes selected Sup
`depends on the type of list box you use
`for multiple selection
`port
`List boxes also include scroll bars when the number of items in the
`
`list exceeds
`
`the visible area of the control
`
`Arrow keys also provide support
`box In addition list boxes include support
`using text keys When the user presses
`text key the list navigates
`and selects
`the matching item in the list scrolling the list if necessary
`
`for selection

`and scrolling

`based on timing each

`within the systems time-out setting If the time-out elapses the
`

`
`the next character
`
`the key

`
`control
`
`is reset
`
`to matching based on the first character Other
`box controls such as combo boxes and drop-down combo boxes do
`
`list
`
`sequential character matching based on the characters
`
`typed into the
`
`text box component
`controls may be preferable
`because
`they do not require the user to master
`
`of the control These

`Chapter 8 Secondary Windows
`
`Property Sheet Comrnands
`Property sheets typically allow the user to change the values for
`a property and then apply those transactions. Include the follow-
`ing common command buttons for handling the application of
`property changes.
`
`Command (cid:9)
`
`Action
`
`OK (cid:9)
`
`Apply (cid:9)
`
`Cancel (cid:9)
`
`Applies all pending changes and closes the property sheet
`window.
`
`Applies all pending changes but leaves the property sheet
`window open.
`
`Discards any pending changes and closes the property sheet
`window. Does not cancel or undo changes that have already
`been applied.
`
`You can also include other command buttons in property sheets.
`However, the location of command buttons within the property sheet
`window is very important. If you place a button on a property page,
`apply the action associated with the button to that page. For com-
`mand buttons placed outside the page but still inside the window,
`apply the command to the entire window.
`
`For the common property sheet transaction buttons — OK, Cancel,
`and Apply — it is best to place the buttons outside the pages because
`users consider the pages to be just a simple grouping or navigation
`technique. This means that if the user makes a change on one page,
`the change is not applied when the user switches pages. However, if
`the user makes a change on the new page and then chooses the OK or
`Apply command buttons, both changes are applied — or, in the case
`of Cancel, discarded.
`
`If your design requires groups of properties to be applied on a page-
`by-page basis, then place OK, Cancel, and Apply command buttons
`on the property pages, always in the same location on each page.
`When the user switches pages, any property value changes for that
`page are applied, or you can prompt the user with a message box
`whether to apply or discard the changes.

`Chapter 11 Working with OLE Embedded and OLE Linked Objects
`
`spreadsheet, however, would likely result in simply transferring the
`data in the cells. Similarly, the destination container in which the
`user drops the selection can also determine whether the dragging
`operation results in an OLE linked object.
`
`For nondefault OLE drag and drop, the container application dis(cid:173)
`plays a pop-up menu with appropriate transfer commands at the end
`of the drag. The choices may include multiple commands that trans(cid:173)
`fer the data in a different format or presentation. For example, as
`shown in Figure 11.5, a container application could offer the follow(cid:173)
`ing choices for creating links: Link Here, Link Short Type Name
`Here, and Create Shortcut Here, respectively resulting in a native
`data link, an OLE linked object displayed as content, and an OLE
`linked object displayed as an icon. The choices depend on what the
`container can support.

`
`Figure 11 .5 Containers can offer different OLE link options
`
`The default appearance of a transferred object also depends on the
`destination container application. For most types of documents,
`make the default command one that results in the data or content
`presentation of the object (or in the case of an OLE linked object,
`a representation of the content), rather than as an icon. ff the user
`chooses Create Shortcut Here as the transfer operation, display the
`transferred object as an icon. If the object cannot be displayed as
`always
`for example, because it does not support OLE -
`content -
`display the object as an icon.
