Hello World: 2 Hello World

The Hello World sample application (Hello3) is very simple and yet accomplishes a great deal. With just a few simple steps, this program does the following:

Creates a complete primary window
Creates a scrollable window and scroller objects
Draws 48-point text into the scrollable window and redraws the text when the user changes a parameter
Handles scrolling and window resizes
Uses a pinnable menu to bring up a dialog box
Uses a dialog box to allow the user to change colors of the text
Uses keyboard mnemonics for both the menu and dialog box commands

The Hello World program uses some concepts and constructs with which you may not be familiar yet. This section will describe each of those constructs and will refer to other sections of the documentation for complete information.
