When you write a VB program you begin by placing controls such as Labels TextBoxes and Command Buttons on a Form. Form creation is interactive and very easy. You select controls from a toolbox and place them on the form. You use the mouse to position and size them and set their properties from the Properties window which is a list of properties and values. A Property controls a characteristic such as size color contents or position.
Events are things that occur while the program is running.
Examples are mouse clicks keystrokes and form resizing. Event Procedures are blocks of code that are automatically executed when the associated event happens. You can also have Sub procedures and Functions that are not associated with events. These routines must be accessed by other code-they will not execute automatically. Methods are instructions to objects.
