Select box (drop-down menu) usage

[equaeghe]

In the task and event editors, select boxes are copiously used. For some properties, other form controls would be more appropriate or natural. The most obvious candidates:

• radio button group: Availability, Status, Privacy, Priority (option 1)
• labeled range state: Priority (option 2)

The labels for the values could be icons as in the task list.

• one or more checkboxes:
  • Type: one checkbox for each of ‘start’ and ‘due’
  • Alert: a checkbox for ‘message’
