Each Visual Basic event has a subprogram associated with it. This is why
Visual Basic automatically includes the Private Sub and End Sub commands in your
code.
The name of the control (in this case cmddisplay) and the event (in this
case click) will be joined together to form the subprogram name. This name
follows the Sub statement.
OPE Chart (Objects Properties Event chart)
The graphical representation in describing the objects used and the
properties and events associated to the objects.

WORKING WITH CODES


Source code, often referred to as simply the "source" of a program, contains
variable declarations, instructions, functions, loops, and other statements that tell
the program how to function. Programmers may also add comments to their
source code that explain sections of the code.
