ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus in a data processing system for selecting a particular object from among a large number of objects utilizing a selector icon displayed within the data processing system. In response to user input, an extended region of the selector icon is displayed. The extended region includes scan speed indicia such as a lined scale. A selection indicium is moved into the extended region, and thereafter, a particular scan speed indicium from among a large number of scan speed indicia is selected. Thereafter, a particular object is scanned from among a large number of objects at a scanning speed related to the selected scan speed indicia such that a particular object from among a large number of objects may be efficiently located. Objects chosen may be numbers from among a large group of numbers.
