XiResEd, the GUI builder enables the users to interactively compose graphical surfaces.
XiResEd, generates the windows with objects obtained from toolboxes. The users are able
to select any desired objects, for instance, switches, icons, buttons, lists, tables or scroll
bars from toolboxes. The selected object is positioned with the mouse and the user defines
it's properties. All alterations made by the users are immediately indicated, and since all
names are definable, applications can later easily identify the objects. The GUI builder
itself uses only commands from the INTERFACE's command set (API), which means, that
all properties of the defined graphical surface can be modified later by the application.

Once a suitable graphical surface is defined interactively, a source code framework can
be generated for each window at the push of a button. The resulting code is very smart,
because all administrative work during runtime is handled by the XiBase9 server, and not
by the application (e.g. refresh or resizing of windows or objects). The generated source
code can be edited using XiWrite - XiSys' state-of-the-art text editor, which in itself is
a valuable tool for software development. It features syntax highlighting and context
sensitive online help, especially on all XiBase9-INTERFACE-commands.
