Methods Now is a good time to bring up the 3 categories of information which may be used to describe any object, including forms. Forms, like any object, have properties which you may set. The properties range from the caption that the form displays to the physical size of the form. Likewise, a form may recognize certain events. All forms recognize the same events, but there are controls which recognize a broader range of events than forms.
Events range from a simple keypress by the user to the click of a mouse button.
Then, finally, forms and controls also support various actions that may be taken. The actions are known as methods, and may include such tasks as moving the form, loading it into memory, or refreshing the form to redraw graphics which may have been overshadowed when one form was placed on top of another. Given that there are over 20 controls available to you in the VB Pro edition, you might be concerned that learning all of the possible properties, events, and methods could be an overwhelming task. However, it's not at all that bad. It's a very important piece of information and it means you can reuse what you learn about one control to help you learn about other controls.
