2. Windows uses a GUI (Graphical User
Interface) so almost everything can be done using
mouse clicks on icons and buttons or
combinations of keys on the keyboard. You can
see what you are doing. When you have a
physical keyboard available, you will find it useful,
less tiring, and often faster to use those odd
combinations of keys.
Concepts /Ideas:
3. The Window
A window is a rectangular area on the
desktop which usually contains a number of
standard parts. But it does not have to have
any of the standard parts. The illustration
shows several windows: a card game
window, an Explorer window,
a Word window, and a dialog window, often
called a dialog box(regardless of its shape or
size). The only part that they all have is the
Title Bar.
5. Title Bar
The Title bar of an application window shows the title of
the current document and the name of the application.
Right end of Title bar
On the right end of the Title bar are buttons to minimize
the window to the Taskbar, maximize the window to
cover the whole Desktop, and to close the window.
6. Status Bar
The bottom of a window contains the Status Bar. It displays messages
about the status of the program. For example, it might say "Saving
document" during the saving process and then "Done" when it is
finished. The example from Win7's Paint shows which brush is selected at
the left, the size of the current image in the middle, and has a slider to
change the zoom display for the window. What you see in the Status Bar
will vary with the type of window.
The diagonal lines in the corner of the Status Bar mean that the
window can be resized by dragging its edges.
7. Document
The main area of the application window
shows the active document. For a word
processing program this could be a letter, a
brochure, or a report. For a graphics
programs it would be a picture. For a
browser it would be a web page.
8. Scroll Bars
Windows that are too small to show the whole document will have scroll barsfor the width or the height of the
document, or both, if necessary. You change what part of the document is showing in
the window by dragging the scroll box or by clicking the scroll arrow or by clicking
in the scroll bar itself.
The size of the scroll box in many applications is in proportion to how much of the document is showing.
So, if half the document is visible, the scroll box will be half of its maximum length in the window
9. Before you can explore Windows much, you must know how to use
your mouse. Your mouse is a pointing device. You use it to point to
things on the computer screen. Other pointing devices like touch pads
and game controllers are described in the lesson Computer Basics:
Input: Pointing Devices.
A mouse has at least two buttons - left and right. Most have a middle
button or a scroll wheel between the left and right buttons. Some
mice have several other buttons that can be programmed for special
functions, especially for games.
The normal shape for the mouse pointer is an arrow
Using a Mouse
10. Move the pointer Moving the mouse around moves the mouse pointer/cursor on the
screen.
Click Press a mouse button and release it. Usually the left button.
Double-click Press a mouse button twice quickly.
Right click Press the right mouse button and release it.
Drag Hold a mouse button down while moving the mouse. Usually what the
mouse pointer was over on the screen will move or be highlighted when
you drag.
Scroll Rolling the wheel that some mice have will move the document up and
down in the current window.
What You Do with a Mouse
11. Pointer Shapes
The shape of the pointer changes
depending on where it is and what is
happening. The term cursor is used
for the shape that shows where your
typing will appear. You can position
the cursor by clicking in a spot in a
document. So the pointer and
cursor work together, but are not
quite the same thing.
The hand shape usually
means that the pointer is over a link,
like on a web page.
