First aid in case of computer software can be easier if you know the correct terms to use. One of the major problems that new computer users with technical assistance is not knowing how to properly describe the problem it. And it is unlikely that technology support automatically know what a “Ding-a-ma-Jingye” or “whatcha-ma-call-it” is.
The following list shows the correct name for the common components of the software, so that when you encounter a problem, you can describe is indeed a problem with a technician, and can easily be solved.
User interface – which is the visual presentation of the program. There may be square boxes, words, symbols and buttons. If you have enough memory, for example, you can see black rectangles in the user interface of software programs.
Title bar – this is the top most part by a program, which takes its own name, or it can be contained in another part of the interface. If a program is not coded properly, you can see a false description in this part of the interface.
Menu bar – this part of the program presents a menu and menu items. Some of the menu bar to access the batch file, open orders, record orders and print orders. An example of an error in this part of the interface, it would be if an option is missing or grayed out (easier in color).
Tool Bar – this part of the program shows small icons on top, the instruments. A click on an icon to open a tool or a command, the process can be extended to a program from the menu bar. Problems in this part of the interface are rare, but always on an icon with no results, you can describe the problem with the reference to the toolbar.
Reduce, restore and close buttons – these three buttons are usually on the right, the upper part of most programs and an interface, you can create a program for the screen, still in their size Parents or stops, the complete program.
Scrollbar – the comfort of tools enables users of data and the computer monitor.
Status bar – this part of the program is on the lower most of its surface, and is, in general, small news, the progress of an order or a task. If poorly planned, an application may be false information in this field.
Context menu – like the menu bar, a menu appears when the user clicks the right thing. It displays the commands that you see on a file or a help menu in the menu.
Input – input are generally small rectangles, with which data in a simple interface of a web page or browser window. If you find that you can not be in one of these, you can actually the problem with a technician in a battleground, but as a “white box” or “City in the text.”
Button – a command key while clicking with the mouse. Problems, if the text of a button is grayed out, or, if that is not recognizable on the screen when you click.
Case – a check box is a small box that allows a user in several ways to indicate, among others. Clicking on a small “x” indicates a field. Just as the check box option allows a user to only one option among others. Problems with radio buttons and check boxes occur when a user first choice, but the interface responds as if the user many decisions (or not). When describing a problem to a technician, you must indicate whether the problem with a checkbox or radio box. Computer new trade so wrong names of the two controls.
