# Building Custom Forms

You will find it much easier to write code using PySimpleGUI is you use features that show you documentation about the API call you are making. In PyCharm 2 commands are helpful.

## Synchronous Forms
|
||||
The most common use of PySimpleGUI is to display and collect information from the user. The most straightforward way to do this is using a "blocking" GUI call. Execution is "blocked" while waiting for the user to close the GUI form/dialog box.

## Elements

"Elements" are the building blocks used to create forms. Some GUI APIs use the term Widget to describe these graphic elements.

|
||||
These make up the majority of the form definition. Optional variables at the Element level override the Form level values (e.g. `Size` is specified in the Element). All input Elements create an entry in the list of return values. A Text Input Element creates a string in the list of items returned.

It's a recipe for success if done right. PySimpleGUI has completed the "Make it run" phase. It's far from "right" in many ways. These are being worked on. The module is particularly poor on hiding implementation details, naming conventions, PEP 8. It was a learning exercise that turned into a somewhat complete GUI solution for lightweight problems.
