USER INTERFACE

The Winfoil user interface has been enhanced to include a Tool Bar which provides quick access to some of the menu commands.

	This button opens the Airfoil List screen.
	This button opens the Design List screen.
	This button selects; 1. Print Airfoil screen if the currently selected screen is the Airfoil List screen 2. Print Design screen if the currently selected screen is the Design List screen. 3. Print airfoil coordinates if the currently selected screen is the Airfoil Coordinates tab.
	This button opens the Import Data screen.
	This button opens the Export Data screen.
	This button selects Winfoil Help.
	This button will allow you to quit from Winfoil
	This button will close the current active screen

At the bottom of the screen is a region called the Status Bar.

The left indented panel of the Status Bar indicates the function of a button on the Tool Bar when the mouse pointer passes over a button. The right indented panels indicate the current date and time.

Winfoil is an MDI application . You may view the Airfoil List , Airfoil Coordinates and Design List screens all at once or you may view one screen with all other screens minimised. You may also tile the screens by selecting the Tile menu option from the Windows menu. By selecting the Cascade menu option from the Windows menu you can view the three screens as overlapping screens.

Popup menus are now supported on all screens. These may be accessed by clicking the right mouse button and selecting the appropriate menu item. This feature reduces the need to move the mouse pointer to the menu or tool bar in order to select a particular program function.

Menu short cut keys have also been introduced. These are as follows;

CTRL+A	Airfoil List Screen
CTRL+D	Design List Screen
CTRL+I	Import Airfoil Data
CTRL+E	Export Airfoil Data
CTRL+P	Print
CTRL+H	Help
ALT+F4	Exit

For example, to access the Design List screen press the Ctrl key and the D key at the same time.
