This section presents a short tutorial. The purpose of the tutorial is
to familiarise you with the Boa Constructor development environment. This
tutorial takes you step-by-step through the process of building a simple
Text Editor, called Notebook. After working your way through this tutorial,
you will understand enough to get productive with Boa Constructor.
You will learn how to:
Create an application.
Create frames, menus and status bars.
Create controls such as buttons, text entry fields and labels.
Configure the controls to your requirements.
Work with common dialogs.
Design your own dialogs.
2.1 Creating a new Application
Decide on a directory to hold the application. If necessary create the
directory.
Create a new application using the new application button on the Palette.
Save both the wxApp1.py file and the wxFrame1.py file to the directory
you created earlier. You can use the 'Save' button on the Editor toolbar.
Notice that the asterixes (*) disappear from the name when it is saved.
These indicate that there are unsaved changes in the file.
You now have an application, which just shows a blank frame. Use the 'Run
Application' button on the Editor toolbar to execute the application.
