Character browse modes
Figure 12–3 shows a character browse in row mode.
The asterisks (*) are row markers that indicate editable rows in an updateable browse. Row markers do not appear:
In row mode, the highlight indicates the row that has focus and the close angle brackets (>) are tick marks that indicate selected rows. In a single selection browse, the tick mark follows the highlight because focus and selection are the same. In a multiple selection browse, focus is independent of selection, and tick marks indicate the selected rows. Figure 12–4 shows a character browse in edit mode.
In edit mode, all rows become deselected except the edited row. The highlight indicates the edited cell within the edited row. As the user moves from row to row during editing, the tick mark and highlight both move to indicate the row and cell being edited.
