Object with specific properties ::
1) Textbox ::
 Name :
 Back color
 Enabled
 Font
 Forecolor {its color of text in textbox }
 Index { sets index for control array! }
 Locked { determines whether value of text box can

 Shape property decides which shape will be placed…
0- Rectangle
1- Square
2- Oval
3- circle
4- rounded rectangle
5- Rounded square
 Draw mode specifies how object will be drawn ::
{ it has values ranging from 1 to 13 , where 13- copypen
gives continuous line and 6- invert gives dashed line and
so on … }
8) LINE ::
 It draws a line on the screen ..
 Draw mode :: as per shape property
 X1 – starting X co-ordinate
 Y1- starting Y co-ordinate
 X2 – ending X co-ordinate
 Y2 – ending Y- Co-Ordinate
9) Image ::
 Its used to display an image on form ..
 To select image , we need to select image box first.
 Second we need to change “Picture” property of
image , as we click on it, it gives us dialog to select a
picture.
 Select desired picture and click open..
 Selected image will be set on form …
Working with Multiple Objects …
 To set common properties or to perform
some task in group , we can select multiple
Objects [ not necessary of the same type! ].

 How to select multiple controls ?


 using control key – press control key and now
select multiple objects..
By dragging the mouse - click on left top corner
and drag mouse till right bottom corner in a way
that all desired objects are selected as a group..
 We can also select multiple objects and press DELETE to delete all
selected object at once!

 When multiple objects are selected, we can change properties of them


all at once!
 For example, backcolor, font,height, appearance etc..
 But name cant be same so when multiple objects selected, property window don’t
show name property!

 All selected [ multiple objects at a time] objects can be moved to any other
location by dragging them all in a group together!

Multiple objects can be aligned together by –


Format -> allign -> left/center/right/top/middle/bottom/ grid
Twips …
 Twips are default measuring unit of Vb
 1 twip = 1/1440 of an inch
 So an object 1 inch wide will be 1440 twips

wide!

 To change measurement from twips to


inches/centimeters/pixels etc…
 select a form, go to its form properties, and select
scale mode …
Key board access keys…
 Keyboard access keys are simply short cut keys for any
command!
 For example in word we use ALT+F – to open file

menu!
 In visual basics we can assign such keyboard acess

keys as and when required!


 Syntax ::

for example if we have “ENTER” key and we want to


assign ALT+E to it,
Simply in caption of object write -- &ENTER
Means without clicking with mouse, just by pressing
ALT+E Enter button will be pressed!
COLOR property in VB…
 Either for backcolor or for forecolor in VB we
need to use color information!
 It can be either selected from property window or

can be assigned by coding!


 If done by coding, colors can be assigned as..

 vbRed, vbBlue, vbYellow,vbGreen


 vbBlack,vbWhite,vbMagenta, vbCyan
 for example…
Text1.BackColor= vbRed
{ will set background color of text1 to RED..}
Changing fonts while coding….
 Text1.FontBold = true
 Text1.FontItalic = true
 Text1.FontUndeline = true
 Text1.FontName = “Comic Sans MS “
 Teaxt1.ForeColor = vbRed
With….. End with
When we want to change multiple properties of
same object at code time, we need to write
Objectname . Propertyname multiple times…

 With.. End with can be used to avoid it..


With objectname
. Property1name = value1
. Property2name = value2
. Property3name = value3
. Property4name = value4
End With
Private Sub Command1_Click()
With Label1
.ForeColor = vbRed
.FontUnderline = True
.FontBold = True
.FontItalic = True
.FontSize = 20
.Caption = "with .. .end with used! "

End With

End Sub
GOOD DAY !!
