Yup .. if you've ever used Delphi, Java or VB or anything else like that, you'll
see that you can place buttons on the screen, but you still have to associate the
button press with an event.

So the button can still be 'clicked', but if you dont have an ActionListener or
OnButtonClick handler or something that is associated with the button, then
it doesnt do anything.
