| Editing and Manipulation considers the behaviors that result in persistent changes to user’s stored information. Behaviors in this layer can often be recognized by the following traits: they result in persistent, stored changes; they require an implicit or explicit save operation; and they typically require validation of the input data.
| |
| | |
| == Selection ==
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Radio_Buttons|Radio buttons]] - Use radio buttons for selection of 1 out of a few items.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Check_Box|Check boxes]] - Use one or more check box for clear options or to select items out of a small number of options.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/DropDown|Drop-down]] - Use a drop-down list for selection of 1 out of a small number of items.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Combo_Box|Combo box]] - Use a combo box to select 1 out of a small number of items where users should be able to add items.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/ListView|List view]] - Use a list view to select 1 singular item out of a potentially big list.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/DualList|Dual list pattern]] - Apply the dual list pattern for several selections out of a large number of (multiple) items.
| |
| | |
| == Unconstrained input ==
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/LineEdit|Line edit]] - Use a line edit to enter one line of text.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/TextEdit|Text edit]] - Use a text edit to enter multiple lines of texts.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/TableView|Table view]] - Use a table view to arrange data in rows and columns with inline editing feature.
| |
| | |
| == Constrained input ==
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Spin_Box|Spin box]] - Use a spin box for numerical input within a range and with fix steps.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Slider|Slider]] - Use a slider for arbitrary changes within a defined range.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Slider_and_Spin_Box|Slider and spin box pattern]] - Apply the slider and spin box pattern for numeric input with both large changes and precise control.
| |
| * [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Date_Time_Pickers|Date and time pickers]] - Use date and time pickers for formatted input of date, time of day, or periods etc.
| |
| | |
| == Viewing vs Editing ==
| |
| * Do not use input controls to show information unless there is an explicit request to edit the information. See the [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Layout/ViewingVsEditing|Viewing vs Editing]] guidelines for more.
