<H2>Creating a dialog</H2>
<P>
To create a new dialog, click on the <B>File: New</B> menu item, or equivalent
toolbar button. A dialog will appear. To put a control on the dialog, left-click
on the appropriate palette icon and then left-click on the dialog. A new item
will appear at the place you clicked.<P>
You can edit any control or dialog by control-left clicking. A property editor
will appear, allowing any property to be selected and edited (see <A HREF="dlged16.htm#propeditors">Using property editors</A>).
You can also edit items by right-clicking to show a menu, and then selecting <I>Edit properties</I>.<P>
To move a control, drag the item with the left mouse button, or edit
the position values in the property editor. To resize a control, you
can either select it by left-clicking and then dragging on a selection
handle, or edit the size values in the property editor. <P>
You can delete items from the right-click menu, or by selecting the item and
choosing <B>Edit: Delete</B> from the menu bar.<P>
