Other TrueGUI documentation
This document, TrueGUI Help, is the place to start. Installed with TrueGUI is additional detailed .NET style documentation about TrueGUI's unique features and add-ins we use.
For those who are new to Windows programming, we prepared a "TrueGUI Forms walkthru". This covers the core Visual Studio tools needed to design TrueGUI Forms - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED! In fact, we also recommend this to regular Windows programmers, mostly to help them focus on Windows Form design instead of Windows programming.
