List Boxes
List boxes are similar to combo boxes but differ from them in three major ways: • They consume more screen space. • They allow you to select only from the list that's displayed. This means you can't type new values into a list box (as you can with a combo box). • They can be configured to let you select multiple items.As with a combo box, the Display Control property of a field can be set to List Box, and a list box will be added to the form when the field is clicked and dragged from the field list to the form.
The List Box Wizard is almost identical to the Combo Box Wizard. After you run the List Box Wizard, the list box properties affected by the wizard are the same as the combo box properties. Advanced list box techniques are covered in Chapter 10.
Check Boxes
Check boxes enable you to limit your user to entering one of two values, such as Yes/No, True/False, or On/Off. You can add a check box to a form in several ways: • Set the Display Control property of the underlying field to Check Box; then click and drag the field from the field list to the form. • Click the Check Box tool on the Design tab of the ribbon; then click and drag a field from the field list to the form. This method adds a check box to the form even if the Display Control property of the underlying field isn't a check box. • Click the Check Box tool in the Design tab of the ribbon; then click and drag to add a check box to the form. The check box you have added will be unbound. To bind the check box to data, you must set the control's Control Source property.Option and Toggle Buttons
You can use option buttons and toggle buttons alone or as part of an option group. You can use an option button or toggle button alone to display a True/False value, but this isn't a standard use of an option or toggle button. (Check boxes are standard for this purpose.) As part of an option group, option buttons and toggle buttons force the user to select from a mutually exclusive set of options, such as choosing from American Express, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover for a payment type. This use of option buttons and toggle buttons is covered in the next section, "Option Groups."The difference between option buttons and toggle buttons is in their appearance. Personally, I find toggle buttons confusing to users. I find that option buttons provide a much more intuitive interface.
