Buttons

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Many programs display lists of short keyboard (possibly function key) commands that are available in a particular context. It is generally simple to convert these to self documenting buttons which perform the same actions as the original commands and thus do not affect anything but the code that displays them. This is also a good way to document special keys that may be used from any field, like F1 for help, F2 for previous screen, etc. See the table of Virtual Key Symbolic Names for information on how to code a button to act like a function key. Note that buttons don’t have to be any more than one row high, so they don’t take any more room than a single line of text.
