Where can I find a good walkthrough for creating an application such as<br>the media player?<br></blockquote></div><br>I don't know of any GUI makers. There's BobsUI, which is an old project that may or may not load into
3.9. Personally I prefer to write things out in code manually.<br><br>If you can make your application only with basic widgets (buttons, lists, trees, text etc) then I highly recommend learning about ToolBuilder. For examples, find any buildWith: methods in your image after loading any examples (such as the PlusTools) you can find. I made a UI using ToolBuilder in much less time than it took me to fight with Morphic.
<br><br>If you need to use Morphic, then poke around the image looking for some simple morphs similar to what you want. Then make your own - subclass Morph and copy / modify code a bit. The best way to learn is by playing.
