Forms

Introduction

Forms are the basis for all Windows applications. When you create a new project, VB automatically creates a form. You then add labels, text boxes and toolbars etc onto this. Think of it as a blank piece of paper on which to create your masterpiece. However, even as a piece of paper you need to make sure that it is the right size, and of the right quality. In the case of forms, you need to set a few properties, so it will look and behave how you want it to. This is covered in the next section.
