Text Box
A text box enables you to enter typed
text.
Combo Box
The combo box combines
both a text box and a list
box. This means that you
can either type the value
you want into the text
box, or you can use the
list to click the value you
want.
Drop-Down List Box
A drop-down list box displays only the selected item from a list. You can
open the list to select a different item.
List Box
A list box displays a relatively large number of choices, and you
click the item you want. If you do not see the item you want,
you can use the scrollbar to bring the item into view; see “Using
Scrollbars,” later in this chapter.

Using Dialog Boxes
You use dialog boxes to control how a program
works. Dialog boxes appear frequently, so you
need to know how to use them to get the most
out of any program.
For example, when you print a document, you
usually see the Print dialog box, which includes
several controls that enable you to control the
print job. For example, you might see a list of
the available printers, radio buttons that enable
you to specify how much of the document you
want to print, and a spin button that enables
you to specify the number of copies you want
printed.

Work with Program Windows
You need to know how to work with program
windows so that you can keep your desktop
neat and your programs easier to find.
For example, you can minimize a window to
clear it from the desktop, and you can
maximize a window to give yourself more room
to work within the window. Similarly, you can
also move a window so that it does not overlap
something else you want to see on the screen,
and you can resize windows so that they do not
overlap each other.

Is there a faster way to minimize all my
open windows?
To see your desktop without minimizing,
position the mouse

minimize all your open windows, click the
Show desktop bar, or right-click the taskbar
and then click Show the desktop.

you release the mouse button,
Windows 7 maximizes the
window.
