query</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>A List query offers a list of predefined choices for the user. It can be

used when more than two options must be offered to the user. There is a prompt

text (optional) on top of the window, and a list of options to choose from.</p>

<p>The list in a List query is a menu list: the user can select an item or

dismiss the query; the Options menu is not available. The default softkey

labels are OK on the left and Cancel on the right, the actual texts can be

specific to the context. The Selection key causes the same action as the left

softkey.</p>

<p>Any list item layout suitable for menu lists can be used; see <xref href="GUID-CB548959-A1D6-4585-B8E3-B09E37E0CB43.dita">List

layouts</xref>.</p>

<p>The number of items in the list should be kept low, so that all items can

be seen without scrolling.</p>
