You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
The aim of this exercise is to create a simple for to allow someone to type in the details of their star sign. First create a form called frmStarSign as follows:
This form also includes ToolTips, as shown
Customise your form so that:
- Pressing ENTER automatically chooses the SHOW button
- Pressing ESC automatically chooses the CANCEL button
- The TAB key takes you through the controls in the correct order
Write code so that:
- when a user clicks on Cancel this closes down the form
- when a user clicks on the Show button this displays what you have typed in
Your final message box could look something like this:
Guess the star sign of the author of this exercise ...
When everything is working, close your form down!
