[1] Creating Hello World – GUI Application step by step.

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

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)

Fig. 4

Double click the template name item from the templates listbox to create new project using this template

Fig. 5

We will create new folder for our project

The folder name is test

Fig. 6

And the project file name is test.SSF

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

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)

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)

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

To run the application click the Run button in the toolbar (or Press CTRL+R)
