  1. Windows Basics: The Window

  2. What You See: The Window A window is a rectangular area on the desktop which usually contains a number of standard parts. But it does not have to have any of the standard parts. The illustration below shows several windows: a Help window, a Solitaire window, an Explorer window, a Word window, and a dialog window, usually called a dialog box (regardless of its shape or size!). The only part that they all have is the Title bar!

  3. Parts of a Window: Title Bar The Title bar of an application window shows the title of the current document and the name of the application Other kinds of windows may show only the title of the window or only the buttons. Left end: At the left of the Title bar is the control icon. Each program has its own picture to put here. When you click on the icon, a menu appears with commands to control the size and location of the window. Right end: On the right end of the Title bar are buttons to minimize the window to the Taskbar, maximize the window to cover the whole Desktop, and close the window.

  4. Menu Bar An application window usually has a menu bar. Each command opens a cascading menu or a ribbon of commands. Cascademeans that a menu can have other menus in it.

  5. Toolbar/Ribbon A toolbar contains buttons for the most commonly used commands. The icons are supposed to make it easy to guess what the button does. Most applications use similar buttons for the same commands The toolbar above has icons for the commands:New, Open, Save, Print, Preview, Find, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Insert Date/Time An application might have several toolbars in view at once. A context-sensitive toolbar will appear only when the commands on it apply to what you are doing. For example, if you select a picture in a Word document, the Picture toolbar appears.
