)
Figure 1.6 The toolbox is used to select controls to build a user interface.
The toolbox closes itself soon after you've added a control to a form and the pointer is no longer over the toolbox. To make the toolbox stay visible, click the little picture of a pushpin located in the toolbox's title bar.
Your Picture Viewer interface will consist of the following controls:
- Two Button controls
- A PictureBox control
- An OpenFileDialog control
