The controls
The IDE uses the controls which have been defined in the Win32Lib
library. They are organised into five groups and are displayed tabs at
the bottom of the design screen. The tabs are labelled:
- Controls
- Additional
- Input
- Selection
- Extras
Lets take a look at each now. If you move the mouse slowly over each
image you will see the name of each type of control.
Controls
There are nine specific controls presented here. These are:
- thePushButton
- the coloured Button

I do not intend to describe each of these in complete detail. You

Next let's look at how to build a

executing solutions and the best strategies for delivering them.
