All these actions will open up two areas - the Charms Bar
and an information
box. The latter is located in the left-hand corner and
displays the date and time,
how much battery power remains (or if the battery is being
charged, its charge
status) and wireless connectivity strength. It’s
particularly useful if you are
working on a tablet and need a quick status check, though,
it isn’t interactive.
The Charms bar click here
Located down the right-hand side of the screen, this is very
interactive. It has
five different icons, each offering a specific function. The
first of these is the
Search charm, a comprehensive tool that lets you look for
different types of
information. You can choose to search in Apps, Settings, Files,
the internet,
Music, People, and more - you can even search the weather
app to find out
what it is like in particular locations. Choose where you
want to search by
selecting something from the right-hand column, then type
into the search
box. The results of any search will appear on the left of
the screen. If you are
searching within an app, the app will display the results
for you. click here
The Share Charm, as its name suggests, allows you to share
items. Apps with
content need to be designated as able to share their
content, and apps that do
the sharing need to be designated as able to. Out of the box
the list of apps is
small, but if you add Twitter, Facebook and other social
media apps with sharing
capabilities you could find this charm grows in usefulness, and
means you don’t
have to keep opening new apps to do sharing tasks.
