This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating "Hello World" applications using the PWCT 1.9 (Art) environment. It first demonstrates creating a GUI application by running PWCT, selecting the GUI template, creating a new project folder and file, adding a main window, and running the application. It then shows creating a console application by selecting the console template, adding steps to print "Hello World" to the console and wait seconds before closing. The document includes screenshots to illustrate each step of the process.

Hi All
In this lesson we are going to create our first application using PWCT 1.9 (Art)
At first we will run the PWCT environment
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
When we run the PWCT environment we have the Goal Designer and the default application is Start.SSF

2. Fig. 3
If we are going to create console application – then we will select the template
(Console Application – Without Coding)
In this lesson we are going to create GUI application so we will create new project using the template
(GUI Application - Without Coding)

3. Fig. 4
Double click the template name item from the templates listbox to create new project using this template

4. Fig. 5
We will create new folder for our project
The folder name is test

5. Fig. 6
And the project file name is test.SSF

6. Fig. 7
Fig. 8
When we create new project we have the goal designer window
This window contains the Main goal which contains The First Step

7. Now we will add the main window of our application
Click Interact button (or Press CTRL+T) to start new interaction process
Fig. 9
After clicking the interact button we will have the components browser window
Using this window we will select a component to interact with it
Fig. 10
The components are classified into domains and the domains are organized using the tree structure
Select the domain (Windows) then select the component (Define new window)

8. Use double click to open it or press Enter
Fig. 11
After selecting the component we will have the interaction using transporter window
Fig. 12
Determine the window title for example (Hello World) then click Ok (or press CTRL+W)

9. Fig. 13
As a result of the interaction process we will return to the Goal designer again but we will notice a change
to the steps tree
We have now new steps generated as a result of the interaction process
Fig. 14
To run the application click the Run button in the toolbar (or Press CTRL+R)
Fig. 15

10. Fig. 16
[2] Creating Hello World – Console Application step by step.
Now we are going to create the Hello world console application

11. Fig. 17
Determine the application name for example Test2.SSF

12. Fig. 18

13. Fig. 19
When we create new project we have the goal designer window
This window contains the Main goal which contains The First Step
Now we will generate new step to print the text (Hello World) on screen
Click Interact button (or Press CTRL+T) to start new interaction process
Fig. 20
After clicking the interact button we will have the components browser window
Using this window we will select a component to interact with it
The components are classified into domains and the domains are organized using the tree structure
Select the domain (Print Text) then select the component (Print Text to Console)
Use double click to open it or press Enter

14. Fig. 21
After selecting the component we will have the interaction using transporter window
Fig. 22
Write the text "Hello World” then click Ok or press CTRL+W to end the interaction process
Fig. 23
As a result of the interaction process we will return to the Goal designer
again but we will notice a change to the steps tree
We have now new steps generated as a result of the interaction process

15. Fig. 24
Now we will generate another step to wait for a number of second to be able
to see the Hello World message on screen
Click the Interact button or press CTRL+T
Fig. 25
Select the domain (Console Application) then select the component Wait (Key/Seconds).

16. Fig. 26
Set checkbox ( Wait nSeconds ) on
Then click Ok or press CTRL+W to end the interaction process
Fig. 27
As a result of the interaction process we will return to the Goal designer
again but we will notice a change to the steps tree
We have now new steps generated as a result of the interaction process
To run the application click the Run button [!] in the toolbar (or Press CTRL+R)
