Unit 14: Building Small Application

To create a project for your program:
From the Windows Start menu, choose Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express
Edition. The “Welcome to Visual Basic Express” screen appears. This is the
interface for Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, also known as the integrated
development environment or IDE.
1. On the File menu, click New Project.
The New Project dialog box opens.
2. Select Windows Application and click OK.
A new form displays in the IDE, and the necessary files for project are added
to the Solution Explorer window. If this is the first Windows Application
project that we have created, it is named “WindowsApplication1”.

14.2 Creating Visual Basic Form

It is recommended however that we create our own Project to become more familiar with all
the details of form creation and maintenance. As mentioned in the previous tutorial, we must
first assign a color and font to the form and then name it and save it. Then we will create some
basic controls. Visual Basic Controls are objects that determine what the form does. Labels,
Buttons, Textboxes are all controls. We get the controls from the Toolbox and drag them onto
the form.
