In this lesson we are going to learn how to use the Timer control.

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
