Motif and CDE 2.1 Style Guide Certification Checklist

Mouse (Device)

[ ]

Provide support for a mouse as a pointing device.

[ ]

Support the following virtual mouse buttons:

SELECT

The virtual pointer button used for selection, activation, toggling, and forms of direct manipulation not assigned to other virtual mouse buttons.

ADJUST

The virtual pointer button used for adjusting a selection.

TRANSFER

The virtual pointer button used for data transfer operations.

MENU

The virtual pointer button used to obtain pop-up menus.

[ ]

The period of time between button release and the subsequent press in a multi-click event is user adjustable, and the default is not less than 100 milliseconds.

[ ]

Do not assign double-click functions to choices on which the user will typically perform multiple single clicks, such as on push buttons.

[ ]

Support a 3-button mouse.

[ ]

Treat a 2-button mouse as a 3-button mouse if it has been configured so that the third button is available by chording the other two buttons (for example, with MB1+MB2 treated as MB3).

[ ]

On a 3-button mouse, bind MENU to MB3.

[ ]

Allow the user to choose whether the bindings on a 3-button mouse support one of the following:

SELECT and TRANSFER integrated on MB1 and TRANSFER bound to MB2 (recommended)

SELECT bound to MB1 and TRANSFER bound to MB2

SELECT and TRANSFER integrated on MB1 and ADJUST bound to MB2

SELECT and TRANSFER integrated on MB1 and nothing bound to MB2

[ ]

If you support binding TRANSFER to MB2 and also integrate TRANSFER with SELECT on MB1, then whenever MB1 is pressed and moved, interpret the action as a drag-and-drop operation. Ensure that when MB2 is pressed and the pointer is moved along the same path, it will have an identical effect.

[ ]

If you support binding ADJUST to MB2, design your application so that using ADJUST is identical to using Shift SELECT.

[ ]

Support a 2-button mouse.

[ ]

Allow the user to choose whether the bindings on a 2-button mouse support one of the following:

SELECT and TRANSFER integrated on MB1 and MENU on MB2

SELECT and TRANSFER integrated on MB1, TRANSFER bound to MB2, and MENU bound to Alt MB1

SELECT bound to MB1, TRANSFER bound to MB2, and MENU bound to Alt MB1
