You just have to create controls exactly like any other objects. The first 
argument of the control constructor must be the parent control or form.

To create a form:

MyForm = NEW Form

And, for example, here is how to add controls in this form:

PRIVATE MyLabel AS Label
...
MyLabel = NEW Label(MyForm)
MyLabel.Move(10, 10, 120, 30)
MyLabel.Text = "Hello"
...

If you want event handlers, do that:

MyLabel = NEW Label(MyForm) AS "MyLabel"
...
PUBLIC SUB MyLabel_Click()
...
END

When you create a form in the IDE, the gambas compiler replace it by this kind 
of code, as if you have typed it by hand.
