Creating a dialog

To create a new dialog, click on the File: New menu item, or equivalent toolbar button. A dialog will appear. To put a control on the dialog, left-click on the appropriate palette icon and then left-click on the dialog. A new item will appear at the place you clicked.

You can edit any control or dialog by control-left clicking. A property editor will appear, allowing any property to be selected and edited (see Using property editors). You can also edit items by right-clicking to show a menu, and then selecting Edit properties.

To move a control, drag the item with the left mouse button, or edit the position values in the property editor. To resize a control, you can either select it by left-clicking and then dragging on a selection handle, or edit the size values in the property editor.

You can delete items from the right-click menu, or by selecting the item and choosing Edit: Delete from the menu bar.
