(None) This may not be a good way of coding a window but unfortunately, most GUI development tools use this technique i.e. VB, PB, Delphi, Java, NextStep, Visual C++, Forte, Smalltalk. The reason for this is that the components that appear on a window need to live somewhere. If you don't put them in a class, you won't be able to access them.
