About Layout Mode

The Screen Painter has two operation modes: layout mode and test mode. Layout mode is the mode in which the user interface objects (windows, menus, forms, displays) are designed (defined, painted, constructed). In layout mode, you have access to all screen painter components, such as the menu bar, tool bar, and object gallery, to assist you in creating and editing these objects. Note that unless otherwise specified, in layout mode the word "click" means click the left mouse button (or the right mouse button if you have reversed them).
