Controls

Vermont Views provides a variety of special controls that allow the user to enter data or select a choice in a simple and consistent manner:

• Toggle fields allow the user to select one of two or more related choices. One choice at a time is displayed in the data field. The user changes (toggles) the choice by pressing a key (the spacebar by default) or clicking on the field with the mouse.
  
  
• Spin buttons allow the user to select one of a circular list of choices. The choices are related to each other and arranged in consecutive order. One choice at a time is displayed in the data field. The user scrolls through the list by pressing a key ("+" and "-" by default) or by clicking the mouse on one of the two spin button controls, scroll up and scroll down.
  
  
• Radio buttons allow the user to select one of a set of mutually exclusive items. Selecting one radio button automatically deselects all the other buttons in the set.
  
  
• Pushbuttons allow the user to perform a specific action by selecting, or "pushing", the pushbutton.
