GUI

By Zarko Gajic, About.com

Definition: A GUI (usually pronounced GOO-ee) is a graphical (rather than purely textual) user interface to a computer.

Applications typically use the elements of the GUI that come with the operating system and add their own graphical user interface elements and ideas. When creating an application, Delphi facilitate writing a graphical user interface.

Each GUI element (for example a Button or an EditBox) is defined as a class from which you can create object instances for your application.
