BUTTON #handle,"Label",Xpos,Ypos,width,height
All of this is explained in the manual... Please read it...

The principle in GUI programming is more or less the following:

1. you design a screen with labels, fields, buttons, etc... Well, you put some objects on the screen. For each object is at least required to know its top left position and its size (width and height).

2. each type of object is dedicated to a specialized function:
2a. a label displays text and does not generate events (it is a passive object).
It is the equivalent of PRINT.
2b. a field is ment to input some text or number. It is the equivalent of INPUT.
2c. a button is made to tell the program to do something. It is the equivalent of pressing the [Enter] button after an INPUT (validate that the key in of data is finished, so please do something with it).
2d. and so on: popup list, push buttons, check boxes...

3. you wait for something to happen, what is called an "event". This is what the event loop does. It catches the events.
As each type of object is dedicated to a task, you do the coding according to it.
For example:
3a. button: if the button is labeled [Calculate] then calculate something
3b. check box: check or uncheck an option
and so on...

4. you answer to required events by customized code: calculate something, save a file, popup a message box, etc...

So yes this is more work than "basic" (bad play on words!) console treatments because you have to manage all of these components. But isn't the result much more beautiful?

Does my answer help you?

Cheers,
aldweb
