Unit 3: Understanding Controls and Control Events

Place the code TextBox1.Text=”Welcome to Forms” in the Click event of the Button and run the
application. When you click the Button the output “Welcome to Forms” is displayed in the
TextBox.
Alternatively, you can also use the MsgBox or MessageBox functions to display text when
you click on the Button. To do that place a Button on the form and double-click on that to
open it’s event. Write this line of code, MsgBox(“Welcome to Forms”) or MessageBox.
Show(“Welcome to Forms”).
It looks like this in code.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As _
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
MsgBox(“Welcome to Forms”)
End Sub
or
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As _
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
MessageBox.Show(“Welcome to Forms”)
End Sub

When you run the form and click the Button, a small message box displays, “Welcome to Forms”.
The image below displays that.
