The Microsoft Windows operating environment has certain standards that graphical applications are expected to conform to. Windows, menus, and controls are supposed to look and behave in predictable ways from application to application.
This chapter describes some of the guidelines you should follow when designing windows and applications, but a full discussion is beyond the scope of this book. You should acquire a book that specifically addresses design guidelines for applications on the Windows platform and apply the rules when you use PowerBuilder to create your application.
