Figure 2-14:
The Screen Saver control in this dialog box is an example of a drop-down list.
If the drop-down list contains more options than can fit in the drop-down menu, the list displays a scroll
bar that enables you to scroll additional options into view (as discussed later in this chapter).
Like other controls, it is possible to work a drop-down list via the keyboard. The trick is to press Tab or
Shift+Tab until the blinking cursor is inside the control you want. To display the drop-down list, press
Alt+ˇ (hold down the Alt key, press the down-arrow key on the keyboard, and then release both keys).
When the list is open, you can select an option by moving the highlighter up and down using the up- and
down-arrow keys. When the option you want is highlighted, press Alt+Enter.
