Add Components to the GUIDE Layout Area
This topic tells you how to place components in the GU IDE layout area and
give each component a unique identifier.
Note See “Create Menus in a GUIDE GUI” on page 6-101 for information
about adding menus to a GUI. See “Create Toolbars” on page 6-122 for
information about working with the toolbar.
1 Place components in the layout area according to y our design.
• Drag a component from the palette and drop it in the layout area.
• Click a component in the palette and move the cursor over the layout
area. The cursor changes to a cross. Click again to add the component in
its default size, or click and drag to size the component as you add it.
Once you have defined a GUI component in the layout area, selecting it
automatically shows it in the Property Inspector. If the Property Inspector
is not open or is not visible, double-clicking a component raises the
inspector and focuses it on that component.
The components listed in the following table have additional considerations;
read more about them in the sections described there.
