Placing Components
To place a component on the screen, simply drag the desired component from the Tools Palette and drop it on the screen.

When multiple components are placed on the Screen, there is a possiblity that certain components overlap. To change the order of the components visiblity, right-click the desired component and the pop-up menu will appear :
- Load Image from File will load an image from the image file.
- Load Image from Resource will load an image from tje resource file.
- Load Image from Resource will load a font from the resource file.
- Align And Distribute lets you align your objects and distribute them as explained for the Align Toolbar.
- Bring To Front causes a desired layers to be drawn last, so that it is drawn on top of any other overlapping objects.
- Send To Back causes a desired layer to be drawn first, so that all other overlapping layers will be drawn on top of it.
- Group Selected will group selected objects.
- Ungroup Selected will ungroup selected objects.
These rules also apply to the events assigned to objects: Bring To Front causes an event assigned to a top object to be performed first.
