Abstract: The present invention provides an improved graphical user interface (GUI) component for presenting mixed mode inputs. A GUI component disclosed as a mixed mode input box according to the present invention permits easier selection within the GUI component of an input among mixed mode inputs such as numeric inputs within a numeric range and combined textual and numeric inputs. Pull-down menu is activated to allow the user to select among mixed mode inputs. When the user selects a numeric value within a numeric range only as the selected input, scroll buttons are activated and used by the user to increment or decrement the numeric value to a desired, selected input value. When the selected input is any other input, such as a combined textual and numeric input, scroll buttons are de-activated. Display of mixed mode input box occupies a relatively small display area and only requires a relatively small amount of code to provide such a layout.
