Event Driven Programming

In the examples considered so far, the control variable was successively increased until it reached
the terminating value. However, if a negative step value is used and the initial value is greater
than the terminating value, then the control value is decreased until reaching the terminating
value. In other words, the loop counts backward or downward.

3: The following program accepts a word as input and displays it backwards:

Object Property Setting
FrmBackwards Text Write Backwards
LblWord AutoSize Text False Enter word:

txtWord btnReverse Text Reverse Letters
txtBackwards ReadOnly True
Private Sub btnReverse_Click(...) Handles btnReverse.Click
txtBackwards.Text = Reverse(txtWord.Text)
End Sub
