Getting Started

Adding Push Button parts

To add and remove items from the To-do list, you need to add two Push Button parts:

  1. To add more than one part at a time, select the Sticky checkbox located just below the parts palette.
  2. Select the Buttons category Buttons category then select the Push Button part Push Button part. Add a Push Button part within the window below the list box on the left and add one on the right.

    Notice that the mouse pointer remains a cross-hair, indicating that the mouse pointer is still loaded with the Push Button part.

  3. Deselect Sticky or select the Selection tool Selection tool from the toolbar to unload the mouse pointer.
  4. Change the left push button's text to Add and the right push button's text to Remove by directly editing them.

Congratulations! You have just created your first user interface using VisualAge. Next, you need to size and align the parts within the To-Do List Window.
