Abstract

One of the major benefits of GUIs is the ability to create programs that can visually interact with your system and other applications. Previous chapters have shown how to use dialog boxes to open and save files to your computer, change fonts or colors, and send images to a printer. In Chapter 8 you will see how to use the clipboard and drag and drop functions to extend the capabilities of your programs even further.
