Lesson 2: Building the Graphical User Interface
As Visual Basic 2013 is a GUI-based programming language, the first step in developing a VB2013 application is to build a graphical user interface. In order to build a graphical user interface, you need to add controls from the toolbox to the form and then customize their properties.
The default form is also a control by itself therefore you can change its properties first before adding additional controls. Having added controls to the form, you then need to write code for each and every control so that they can response to events triggered by the user’s actions such as clicking the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard.
Therefore, Visual Basic 2013 is also an event-driven programming language. We shall learn more about the concept of event-driven programming and coding in later lessons.
