You can build apps with Visual C# or Delphi or many other RADs with relatively very little coding.
IE a basic wordpad - type text editor with some rich text editing would consist of:
- dropping a RichText control on a form (an empty window), and giving it a name ('editor')
- dropping buttons on the form, graphically placing them, and selecting captions, etc.
- Setting onClick events for the buttons, and placing code to the effect of ('editor.selection.font.style = 'bold';)
