Adding Text and Label parts
To create the text field in which the to-do items are typed, you need to add a Text part and a Label part:
1. Select the Data Entry category
from the left column of the parts palette, and then select the Text part
from the right column of the parts palette.
The information area at the bottom of the Composition Editor displays Category: Data Entry Part: Text, reflecting the current selection in the parts palette.
2. Move the mouse pointer over the Window part. The pointer changes to a cross-hair, indicating that it is now loaded with the part you selected. Click mouse button 1 where you want to add the Text part.
If you accidentally picked the wrong part, select the correct part or select the Selection tool
from the tool bar to unload the mouse pointer.
After you have added the part inside the window, you can move it to a new location by dragging it with the mouse.
3. Select the Data Entry category if it is not already selected and then select the Label part
and add it to the window just above the Text part.
When initially placing parts, don't worry about the exact position of the parts for now. Later you'll learn how to use the tools from the toolbar to match sizes and align parts.
4. Just as you did with the Window part's title bar text, change the Label part's text to To-do item by directly editing it.
