<div><p></p>
<div class="section"><p>Creating a panel with GUI Builder is simple. From the menu bar
on the main GUI Builder window, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">New File</span></span>.</p>
<p> From the menu bar on
the GUI Builder <strong>File</strong> window, click the Insert New Panel icon <img src="rzahh562.gif" alt="Insert New Panel tool icon" />
to display a panel builder where you can insert the components for your panel.
The toolbar buttons on the <strong>Panel</strong> window represent various components
that you can add to the panel. Select the component you want and then click
on the place you want to position it.</p>
<p>The following picture shows a
panel that has been created with several of the options available to you.</p>
<p><strong><span class="synph" id="panelex__panelexfig1"><a name="panelex__panelexfig1"><!-- --></a><span class="kwd"></span></span>Figure 1: Creating a sample Panel with
GUI Builder</strong> <img src="rzahh021.gif" alt="Sample panel created with GUI Builder" /> </p>
<p>The sample panel in <a href="#panelex__panelexfig1">Figure
1</a> uses the following DataBean code to bring together the various components:</p>
<pre>import com.ibm.as400.ui.framework.java.*;

<p>The panel is the most simple component available within the
GUI Builder, but from a simple panel you can build great UI applications.</p>
