Quiz
- What is the purpose of Visual Basic?
- How have programming languages changed over the years?
- What programming language is Visual Basic based on?
- Which Visual Basic development environment window forms the background for the applications you develop?
- What is the difference between the Form window and the Form Layout window?
- True or false: All the tools you find on the Toolbox window when you start Visual Basic are the intrinsic controls.
- Start Visual Basic and select various options from the View window. You will see several new windows open. Look through the menu options and click any scrollbars you see. Don't save anything when prompted. Double-click over tools on the toolbox to see different tools appear on the Form window. Move the tools away from the center of the window to see more of them at one time. As you click different tools in the Form window, watch the Properties window change to reflect the current tool's properties.
