<p>Preview pop-up is a floating component used for displaying more detailed

data about an item that has focus in the main pane.</p>

<fig id="GUID-443FE00D-6678-4951-9038-07C82D10B69E">

</fig>

<p>The preview is displayed with a 0.6 second delay after the focus is moved

(for example, scrolling down a list with the Arrow keys) to avoid too rapid

and continuous flicker. The default time-out for closing the preview pop-up

is the same as for the Information pop-up, but it is possible to adjust it

if necessary.</p>

<p>Preview pop-up contents cannot be scrolled and the component must not contain

any buttons or other elements that make it appear interactive: the component

is the same in both standard and touch-enabled devices and should the component

be used in a standard non-touch device, its elements should not look touch-enabled.

There can be a maximum of five text rows in a preview pop-up, and it is possible

to place a small icon in the start of the rows. It is even possible to have

more than one icon on a row instead of text, if necessary. The number of images

in a single preview pop-up is limited to one, and it can be accompanied by

up to two rows of text.</p>

<p>Preview pop-up shows always duplicate data in a given application to ensure

that the user will not miss any content or functionality even if a given product

does not utilize preview pop-up (that is, it has been switched OFF). Owing

to the special nature of preview pop-up, it is important to thoroughly consider

its genuine usefulness in various applications. Furthermore, the component

should not be confused with the Information pop-up note even though the data

displayed in these two components can at times be identical.</p>

in a touch interface</title><p>Preview pop-up is a floating component used

for displaying more detailed data about an item that has the focus in the

main pane. It is not a touch-only component, and its basic functionality is

described above. Although it is not recommended to place buttons or other

items that appear touch-enabled into the preview pop-up, it is still possible

to give some items touch-only functions. It is up to each application to decide

whether to make use of this support in some sensible way. For example, a tap

on a www hyperlink displayed in the preview pop-up would open Browser and

open the Web site in question. However, it should be noted that using touch-enabled

items in the preview pop-up is an advanced, heavy-user feature.</p><p>A tap

on an item in the preview pop-up can also open the stylus pop-up menu, when

there is no obvious direct function for that item. For more information, see <xref href="GUID-C4E728B4-3E84-49A4-83CB-DF146420D78A.dita">Stylus pop-up menu</xref>.</p></section>

<section id="GUID-BE7B9950-53D3-4BB5-8971-4CBD0D57CE51"><title>Preview pop-up

for touch only</title><p>The above section describes the general case for

touch and the preview pop-up. There is, however, a variance possibility for

the preview pop-up, which is to limit it strictly for touch. In this case,

the guideline for having no buttons or other obvious touch items in the preview

pop-up can be ignored for the most part: if the preview pop-up can only be

opened with a stylus, it is perfectly acceptable to make touch functions plainly

touch-enabled.</p></section>

<section id="GUID-AC64544E-D3D9-451C-B0EF-FF3F54B280DF"><title>Using

preview pop-ups in C++ applications</title><p>The API to use for creating

the preview pop-up component is the <xref format="html" href="specs/Guides/Information_Preview_Popup_API_Specification/Information_Preview_Popup_API_Specification.html" scope="peer">Information preview pop-up API</xref>.</p><p>Preview pop-ups

can be used in two modes: in the default mode where the pop-up is hidden automatically

as a result of time-out or input event (either a key press or a pointer event),

or in permanent mode where the pop-up stays visible until it is dismissed

by the application code. </p><p>For implementation information, see <xref format="html" href="specs/Guides/Information_Preview_Popup_API_Specification/Information_Preview_Popup_API_Specification.html#Information_Preview_Popup_API_Specification.topic3" scope="peer">Using the Information Preview Pop-up API</xref>. </p></section>
