## Creating New GUI Projects for the UI Designer

The New Project wizard will guide you through the steps needed to create a new GUI project.

This page provides a list of the steps needed to create a new UIQ C++ GUI project using the wizard. The links in the discussion of each step take you to a page which contains a detailed description of the subtasks needed to perform that step.

Some common New Project Wizard actions include:

- Click the Cancel button to terminate the wizard without creating a project
- Click the < Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard
- Click the Next > button to accept all entries on the current page and continue to the next page of the wizard.
- Click the Finish button (when it is enabled) to complete the wizard.
