Before you can create the first window for the Customer Inquiry application, you need to start the GUI Designer, and be able to identify its components.
The VisualAge RPG window, the Parts Palette, and a Window with canvas appear. Rearrange them so that all parts are visible.
VisualAge RPG Window
This window consists of four areas:
Window with canvas Window
This window enables you to manipulate parts to create a GUI
Parts Palette Window
This window contains the parts you use to create the screen layout for your GUI application.
When you move the mouse pointer over the part icon, the Status bar gives you a short description of the part.
You may use F1 to get help about the Parts Palette. Press F1 to get a detailed description of the Parts Palette window. Click on a part then press F1 to get help about that part.
