ABSTRACT
The previous chapter discussed the design of the software application and presented typical use case scenarios detailing user interaction and system responsibilities. The next step involves the implementation of an initial graphical user interface to display typical Window-based application features, such as child windows, menus with entries, and toolbars with buttons. The Microsoft Visual C++® 6.0, Microsoft® Visual Studio™ 6.0 Development System [1] (integrated development environment [IDE]), allows the developer to easily set up the interactive features of the application and the key topics covered here are the Application Wizard, menus, icons, toolbars, dialog windows, and attaching functionality to the menu entries and toolbar buttons.
