1. Start a New Project.
SS000

2. Create new project using “Windows 8 Project” template.
SS001

3. Click on New Project* (default project name before you change the properties)at “Project” window,  then a “Properties” window will occur on the left side. Change Window Size Properties to 1366 x 768 (default size of Windows 8 resolution screen). Rename your project name, fill the author, version, email and website(recommended) column as your project details. Highly recommended using Internet Explorer (IE 11) as your Preview Browser, using another browser may cause unwanted things happen to your project.
SS002

4. Expand Layout folder, click Layout 1 (you can rename it later). There is “Layout” properties on the right side, change the Layout Size and Margins as you needed. (I’am using 1366 x 768 for layout size and 500, 500 for margins). You can add more layer by right clicking on Layout folder and choose “Add layout”, don’t forget to add “Event Sheet” too!

5. Now, I’am going to remove some objects (DescriptionText, PausedText, PurchaseButton, PurchaseStatus and ShareButton) that created by default. (You don’t need it too i think). To remove unwanted objects, expand “Object types” from Project window, right click on the object that you want to remove and delete it.
SS003
*Here is the Project window

6. Now we have clean layout, let’s move to “Event sheet 1” tab.
SS004

7. Let’s clear out some unnecessary things in this window, press “Ctrl + Left Click” to pick some of these “Event”
(Unselected event)
SS005(Selected event) It will turn into Yellow if you have select an event or more.
SS006Delete these events because you are not need it for now. That is all you need to do for now, see you at next session. 😀
