To complement Stef’s comment: Spec is the default UI builder framework for Pharo and considered as ‘the way to go’ for building user interfaces of the kind that you are describing. Considering the features of Spec, I think it should have virtually all that you need and will be certainly much easier to use than lower-level Morphic stuff.
Check out the chapter that Stef pointed out, and if there are any issues or questions do not hesitate to post on this list!
