===Selection and display of collections=== * [[Button (computing)|Button]] β control which can be clicked upon to perform an action. An equivalent to a [[push-button]] as found on mechanical or electronic instruments. ** [[Radio button]] β control which can be clicked upon to select one option from a selection of options, similar to selecting a radio station from a group of buttons dedicated to radio tuning. Radio buttons always appear in pairs or larger groups, and only one option in the group can be selected at a time; selecting a new item from the group's buttons also de-selects the previously selected button. ** [[Check box]] β control which can be clicked upon to enable or disable an option. Also called a tick box. The box indicates an "on" or "off" state via a [[check mark]]/tick β or a cross β. Can be shown in an intermediate state (shaded or with a dash) to indicate that various objects in a [[multiple selection]] have different values for the property represented by the check box. Multiple check boxes in a group may be selected, in contrast with radio buttons. ** [[Toggle switch (widget)|Toggle switch]] - Functionally similar to a check box. Can be toggled on and off, but unlike check boxes, this typically has an immediate effect. ** Toggle Button - Functionally similar to a check box, works as a [[switch]], though appears as a button. Can be toggled on and off. ** Split button β control combining a button (typically invoking some default action) and a drop-down list with related, secondary actions ** [[Cycle button]] - a button that cycles its content through two or more values, thus enabling selection of one from a group of items. * [[Slider (computing)|Slider]] β control with a handle that can be moved up and down (vertical slider) or right and left (horizontal slider) on a bar to select a value (or a range if two handles are present). The bar allows users to make adjustments to a value or process throughout a range of allowed values. * [[List box]] β a graphical control element that allows the user to select one or more items from a list contained within a static, multiple line text box. * [[Spinner (computing)|Spinner]] β value input control which has small up and down buttons to step through a range of values * [[Drop-down list]] β A list of items from which to select. The list normally only displays items when a special button or indicator is clicked. * [[Menu (computing)|Menu]] β control with multiple actions which can be clicked upon to choose a selection to activate ** [[Context menu]] β a type of menu whose contents depend on the ''context'' or state in effect when the menu is invoked ** [[Pie menu]] β a circular context menu where selection depends on direction * [[Menu bar]] β a graphical control element which contains drop down menus * [[Toolbar]] β a graphical control element on which on-screen buttons, icons, menus, or other input or output elements are placed ** [[Ribbon (computing)|Ribbon]] β a hybrid of menu and toolbar, displaying a large collection of commands in a visual layout through a tabbed interface. * [[Combo box]] ([[text box]] with attached [[menu (computing)|menu]] or [[List box]]) β A combination of a single-line [[text box]] and a [[drop-down list]] or [[list box]], allowing the user to either type a value directly into the control or choose from the list of existing options. * [[Computer icon|Icon]] β a quickly comprehensible symbol of a software tool, function, or a data file. * [[Tree view]] β a graphical control element that presents a hierarchical view of information * [[Grid view]] or [[datagrid]] β a [[spreadsheet]]-like [[Table (information)|tabular]] view of data that allows numbers or text to be entered in rows and columns.
