Create GUIs Programmatically

Lay Out a Programmatic GUI	Shows you how to create and organize the GUI code file and from there how to populate the GUI and construct menus and toolbars. Provides guidance in designing a GUI for cross-platform compatibility.
Code a Programmatic GUI	Explains how user-written callback routines control GUI behavior. Shows you how to associate callbacks with specific components and explains callback syntax and arguments. Provides simple programming examples for each kind of component.
Manage Application-Defined Data	Explains the mechanisms for managing application-defined data and explains how to share data among a GUI's callbacks.
Manage Callback Execution	Explains how callbacks execute and how to control their interactions
Examples of GUIs Created Programmatically	Provides three examples that illustrate the application of some programming techniques used to create GUIs.
