Introduction to Windows Forms

In this chapter you have progressed from the simplest Windows Forms application to relatively complex menu and event handler operations. You've seen how the Delegate system replaces the message map or the WndProc for message routing in your application, and you've seen a little of the basic .NET framework for GUI components. Coming up in Chapter 3.2 "User Interface Components," we'll deal with a selection of the more commonly used Windows Forms components and show you how to lay these items out for use in your forms and dialogs.
