Working with List Boxes
Each HP Easytime/iX 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/iX 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.
To identify 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 that you can
scroll in a list.
Figure 2-6 illustrates the list box on the File Management screen.
