Once you select one of the controls, the pointer loses focus and you can use the selected control. We will learn how to use the controls in another lesson. Notice that the right section of the Standard toolbar displays the dimensions of the form. The Properties Window displays a list of the properties associated with each control or form that are part of your project. A property is anything that characterizes an object.
Different controls have different sets of properties.
The Project Explorer window gives a list of the forms and modules that are part of the current project. To experiment with the Project Explorer window, click the Toggle Folders button . Notice that the folders are collapsed. To expand the folders, click the Toggle Folders button again. Still on the Project Explorer window, click View Code.
