Unit 3: Understanding Controls and Control Events
As you can see, it is fairly simple to load the ListBox and the ComboBox during the
From_Load event. The only other detail to note is that the order in which the items appear
in the Combo is not the same as the order in which the items were added. That is intentional
- it is done with the Sorted property for the ComboBox. It can also be done for the ListBox.
Questions
1. Create a form with two buttons, run the program, and click on each button. Do you notice
anything different about a button after it has been clicked?
2. While a program is running, a control is said to lose focus when the focus moves from
that control to another control. In what three ways can the user cause a control to lose
focus?
