Activating Controls

When the user clicks the SELECT button on a choice that can be activated, an action occurs. When the user presses the SELECT button on a push button, the push button appears with ready emphasis to indicate that releasing the SELECT button will activate the push button.

Choices that support activation include action choices, dialog choices, and cascading choices.

For more information, see the Action (Choice Type), Cascading (Choice Type), and Dialog (Choice Type) reference pages.
