FORMS
In Visual Basic, form is the basic of GUI. Form is the container for all the controls that make up the
user interface. When a Visual Basic application is executing, each window it displays on the desktop is
a form.
Figure: VB Form & its elements
Every Visual Basic control consists of
three important elements
Properties which describe the
object
Methods cause an object to do something and
Events are what happens when an object does something.
Properties
The properties describe the appearance of the GUI component. A property is a value or characteristic
held by a Visual Basic object. Properties can be set at design time by using the Properties window or at
run time by using statements in the program code.
Object.Property = value
Where
Object is the name of the object you're customizing.
Property is the characteristic you want to change.
Value is the new property setting.
For example, a property called Text used to modify the title that appears on the window or any control.
Form1.Text = “Sample”
You can set any of the form properties using Properties Window. Most of the properties can be set or
read during application execution.
