Dialog boxes are used to enter information into VisualCAM. They may contain data entry fields, selectable options, color buttons, help buttons, scroll bars and exit buttons (OK, Cancel, and Close).
Most VisualCAM dialog boxes have a help button with a question mark located in the title bar. To use this feature, click the help button and then click on a control within the dialog box. A popup window will appear with information specific to that control and dialog box.
The File Selection dialog box provides a convenient way of locating files so you do not have to remember them all. There are two forms of the File Selection dialog box. The first (below) allows you to select only one filename. You select the desired file by clicking directly on a filename. The chosen filename appears in the File Name field at the bottom of the dialog box.
The second allows you to select multiple filenames by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, and clicking on each desired filename. Each selection remains highlighted, and appears in the File Name field. An example of this type of dialog box is the one used for File|Import|Barco DPF.
Edit forms are used to enter information into VisualCAM. They may contain data entry fields, checkable buttons, color buttons, scroll bars and exit buttons (OK, Cancel, etc.). This type of form is exemplified by the Setup|Layers dialog box, as shown below.
