1 - Introduction
In this lesson we are going to create simple GUI application
We will learn through simple steps how to
1 - Create Main Window
2 - Add controls to the window
3 - Link control events to Procedures/Functions
2 - Implementation Steps
Fig. (1) Goal Desginer - Steps Tree
Select the step (The First Step)
We will start now new interaction process to generate new steps to our steps tree.
The slow way (Using Mouse):
1 - Click Interact to open the components browser
2 - Select the domain (Windows)
3 - Select the component (Define New Window)
The fast way (Using Keyboard shortcuts):
1 - Get the component using its name by typing (Define New Window)
Note : Stop typing when you see the required component is selected

2. Fig. (2) Component Browser – Select the component (Define New Window)
After selecting the component click Ok or press ENTER
