Motif and CDE 2.1 Style Guide Certification Checklist

Viewing Area (Control)

[ ]
Provide a viewing area when a window is used to display user-provided or specified application-interpreted information. For example, text from a text file would be shown in the viewing area of a word-processing application.

[ ]
If a window contains multiple viewing areas, and the user makes a choice that can apply to more than one view, apply it to the area that has focus. If no area has focus, then apply the choice to the area that has interacted emphasis. Otherwise, issue a warning signal.

[ ]
Provide at least one viewing area in every primary window.

[ ]
Place the viewing areas below the status area and menu bar and above the information area and command area.

[ ]
Support both horizontal and vertical scrolling in each viewing area.
