Objectives:
•Creating multiple Forms in
1 project.

Jargon Buster:
(Definition of Terms)

Progressbar is an animated
bar usually used to see if
there is a page that is to be
loaded.

Form is the start of the program
when the application is first run.
The Form looks like a blank
application window you see when
you open any Visual Basic
software program.

Timer executes code at
regular intervals by causing a
timer event to occur

PictureBox displays graphics
Form bitmap, icon, or
metafile, JPEG or GIF files

TextBox displays information
entered at design time,
entered by the user with a
toggle choice

If then Else, an IF block
statement is used to check
whether the logical test is true
or false. It will take the course
of action based on the result
retrieved on the logical test.

<Name of Form>.Show
allows the user to go
automatically to the next
question/Form

Me.Hide allows the user to
hide the current Form
