This is the whole title bar. Holding down the left mouse button on this bar allows one to use the mouse to move the window to another location on the desktop.
Click this button to minimize the window. When an application window is minimized, it is "put down" into the Task Bar (removing it from the desktop's work area). In this state, the only visual indication that the application is still running is that its icon in the Task Bar will be highlighted. See Window State for more information.
Note 1: clicking on the highlighted icon for this application in the Task Bar will "restore" the window to its previous state.
Note 2: when an application is minimized, because it is less visible, it is a common mistake for new Windows users to re-start an application instead of restoring it. Depending on the application, this can cause 2 copies of the application to be running (2 processes of the same application), and this is usually not what is wanted when one merely wants to return to editing a document from an interruption in which one minimized the application window to do something else.
Click this button to maximize the window. See Window State for more information. Note: when the window is maximized, this button's icon changes to 2 rectangles, indicating that clicking it "restores" the window to the normal state. "Restore" in this context always means return the window to the normal state, whether it is minimized or maximized.
This is an "editing area" of this application's window in which time records are kept and edited. Applications that display and edit records often use this type of control.
Click on the up- and down-arrows to scroll "a little bit". (In a document editor or word processing application, this usually means "scroll one line of text".) Click the bar area outside of the slider button to scroll a whole page at a time. Drag the slider button to quickly position anywhere within the document or list when it extends beyond the display area of the window.
Note: the size of the slider button indicates the amount of the document or list that is currently displayed.
Hovering your mouse over this corner will turn it into a pair of diagonal arrows. When diagonal arrows are displayed, you can drag the corner to re-size the window.
Hovering your mouse over any window edge also turns your mouse into a pair of arrows, and dragging that edge enables you to re-size the window by that edge only.
A control that is disabled is normally displayed with a light gray background and any text it contains is changed from black to dark gray. The colloqualism used for this state is that it is "grayed out". The technically-correct term for this is that the control is "disabled". Clicking on a disabled control will not do anything, and it will not move keyboard focus to that control.
A control that is enabled is normally displayed with a white with black text, indicating it is enabled. Clicking on an enabled textbox will move keyboard focus to that control (if it was not already there), and may also set position of the insertion cursor (I-beam).
A group of radio buttons enables the user to pick one of the available items only. The black dot indicates which one is "checked". Clicking on another radio button in the group automatically unchecks the radio button that was previously checked, enforcing that only one can be selected at a time.
An editbox (sometimes called a "text area") is used when more than a single word or phrase is expected to be entered (or pasted) by the user, and especially when that text is expected to often take up more than one line. Technically, the entire editing area of a word processor or text editor is one giant editbox (sometimes with specialized capabilities).
