Setting focus and highlighting items

When an item on a screen is in focus, users can initiate an action on the item.

When users use a trackpad, they can move the highlight to set focus on an item. Then they can act on the highlighted item by

clicking the trackpad or using the menu. When users use a touch screen, they interact directly with items on the screen using a

finger. When users interact with an item, the highlight helps them identify the item that they are initiating the action on.

Cursors and pointers

When users use a trackpad, they can move a cursor or pointer to set focus on an item on a screen. The cursor or pointer icon can

change to indicate its current behavior.

The following cursors and pointers appear in BlackBerry® applications:

Cursor or pointer Purpose
