Dialog Buttons
Dialog windows use a common group of buttons for standard purposes. These are described in the table below.
Standard Dialog Buttons
[OK] |
The [OK] button executes the [Apply] button to accept your changes and then closes the Dialog. |
[Process] |
The [Process] button is used to perform the operation of a command dialog. It executes the command associated with the settings in the dialog. Dialogs using this button are mostly in the Process pull-down menu. |
[Apply] |
This button accepts the changes you have made in the dialog. After clicking [Apply] you can continue working in the dialog. When [Apply] is located with [Process] and [Close] on a command dialog, it accepts your settings but does not operate the command. |
[Cancel] [Close] |
These buttons close the dialog window without updating your changes since the last time you clicked [Apply]. |
[Show >>] [<< Hide] |
These buttons enlarge or reduce the size of a Drop Dialog. |
[>> Default] |
This button appears in some preference dialogs. It saves the dialog settings as default values for all future cases. In comparison, the [Apply] button saves the settings only to the current view window that was open when this dialog was opened. |
