List Boxes
List Boxes
Each HP Easytime/XL screen contains at least one list box. A list box
is an area displaying columns of information. These can be items
related to the current HP Easytime/XL screen, for example, a list of
files on the File Management screen or a list of available choices, for
example, printers currently available on the system.
Identifying a List Box
Every list box contains a scroll bar on the right edge (and/or bottom
edge) of the list box. If there are more items available than fit in the list
box, scroll bars allow you to scroll through the list to view more
information. The scroll bar arrows indicate the directions you can
scroll in a list.
