Visual Basic

1. Forms

   • The form is the first object or control that is displayed in Visual Basic and constitutes the screen or window over which other objects or controls are placed such as labels, text controls, buttons, etc. and of course the necessary code of our programs, therefore will constitute the User Interface
   • most common properties
     • Name
       • In all control the first property to be established is the name of the object, it is recommended that in the case of the form the first three letters are Frm, precisely to know that it is a form, and then followed by the name that you want to assign , does not admit spaces.
     • BackColor
       • Allows you to change the color of the form's background
     • Cursor
       • Cursor that will appear when the pointer passes through the form, will be displayed only at run time (f5)
     • BackColor
       • Allows you to change the color of the form's background
     • Icon
       • Indicates the icon of the form ie the one that goes in the title bar, it will also be displayed in the windows taskbar when the form is minimized

   • ActiveX controls
     • Are those controls that exist as independent files with extension file name .ocx. These include the controls available in all editions of Visual Basic (grid controls, combo box and list linked to data and several others) and those that are only available in the Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition (such as Listview, Toolbar, Animation and Tabbed Dialog).
