Yes... I looked at all those. They don't answer my questions about the form designer or the image editor. The tutorials show you how to write the code to do a couple of those things, but not how to do them in the form designer.

In the first place, how do you start the form designer. There isn't even a mention of it in any of the menus. The same is true of the image editor. If you open an existing app that contains a .lay file, then you can get to the form designer by opening the .lay file, but that's not intuitive. Likewise for the image editor with .iml files. My question is: how do you invoke those functions if your new package doesn't already contain those files?

The tutorials also fail to answer my question regarding importing images from a file, nor do they address the "resource" file issue. I didn't ask my questions out of total ignorance, I did try to find the answers, but they have yet to be forthcoming. That's why I asked the questions on this forum. Can someone please help?
