Use templates to create new screens

Adding new screens has never been easier. Just select one of the pre-built templates from the Templates view by double-clicking on it. The composer will automatically generate this screen for you. Selecting the Classes view (next to the Templates view) gives you direct access to all components. Just drag a component to the Layout view to add it to your project.You can edit the components by double-clicking them in the Layout view, opening the Component Inspector dialog.

The Component Inspectors

Every visual component now has its own Component Inspector. You can activate them by double-clicking on a component in the Layout View. These new dialogs lets you edit the most important properties of component using intuitive options and previews. The inspector doesn't only feature the component's properties, but also contains the Action Manager and the Event Manager.

The Action Manager

Adding interactivity can now be done without programming a single line of code. Just select the Action Manager of the component which should react on an event (mouse movements, clicks, timers, etc.) and instruct it what to do using the dialogs. The Action Manager has loads of actions for controlling your application, video, audio and more.

The Effect Manager

Every component can has its own effects sequence, which can be started immediately or after a specified time interval. You can also link effects to events, causing them to start whenever the specified event occurs. The manager allows you to organize and synchronize effects.
