I'm afraid I'm not a very good teacher :-)
Also, the API for forms and connecting to databases is at the begining.
Today I will release a new 0.83 version of PgAccess with a slightly
modified interface for databases (queries).
Also I will relase a database (in a dumped format) with a simple example
( phone book). How to display, search and add enteries. I Think that it
will be ok than.

No. First of all you should choose your tool. Let's say listbox.
Than you go on canvas and make a rectangle as in Corel (point somewhere,
press the button, drag to the end and release the mouse-button).
The rectangle should appear when you release the mouse-button as a
listbox.
Please wait for this 0.83 version and for demo database !
I hope that it will come today in let's say 8 hours.
