Form

Remarks

Use the Form object to create a form to which you can add controls. You can also use the Form Designer. Forms have properties that determine their appearance, such as position, size, and color, as well as aspects of their behavior, such as whether they are sizable.

Forms can also respond to events initiated by a user or triggered by the system. For example, you can write code in a form's Click event procedure that changes the color of the form when you click it.

In addition to properties and events, you can use methods to manipulate Forms. For example, you can use the Move method to change a form's location and size.

When designing Forms, use the BorderStyle property to specify a form's border, and the Caption property to specify the text in the title bar. Setting BorderStyle to 0 removes the border. From within a program, you can use the Hide and Show methods to make Forms transparent or visible at run time.
