Step 2: Add Text and Boxes

(Exercise 3, Create the Data Entry Forms)
First, we will add our own line of text at the top of the screen.
  1. Right-click on the form, somewhere above MyDict identification.
  2. Select Add Text from the menu.
  3. Type My First Application and then Enter (or click on OK).
  4. Adjust the position of the text until it is just where you want it. To do this, select the text (click on it) and use the arrow keys, or drag and drop the text to the new location.
