Almost every application needs to communicate with the user in some way.
Therefore, a substantial part of the code deals with the interaction of program
logic with GUI components. Typically, the following is needed:
* put values into input fields under program control
* read and check input from the user
* pop up dialogs to query the user for further information
The task: For a minimal "application", write a program that presents a form with
three components to the user: A numeric input field ("Value") and two buttons
("increment" and "random").
The field is initialized to zero. The user may manually enter a new value into
the field, or increment its value with the "increment" button. Entering a
non-numeric value should be either impossible, or issue an error message.
Pressing the "random" button presents a confirmation dialog, and resets the
field's value to a random value if the answer is "Yes".
(This task may be regarded as an extension of the task [[Simple windowed application]]).
