Question 6

Case 8-2
​Siobhan is going to create a dialog box for a new application and while she has been a user of dialog boxes for a long time, she has never before taken the time to learn the names of the actual dialog box features aligned with their functions.

Question 18

Case 8-2
​Siobhan is going to create a dialog box for a new application and while she has been a user of dialog boxes for a long time, she has never before taken the time to learn the names of the actual dialog box features aligned with their functions.
-If Siobhan has a dialog box option that is either on or off, which of the following is she most likely to use?
A) Text box
B) List box
C) Drop-down list box

The option that is either on or off is best represented by a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between two states with a single button click. Text box, list box, and drop-down list box are all more appropriate for displaying lists of information or accepting text input rather than representing an on/off option.
