BUILDING WINDOWS
APPLICATIONS
Methods
 A method is an action that an object can perform.
For example, Add is a method of the ComboBox
object, because it adds a new entry to a combo
box.
 The following procedure uses the Add method to
add a new item to a ComboBox.

Sub AddEntry(newEntry as String)

Combo1.Add newEntry
End Sub
Properties
 A property is an attribute of an object that defines one of the
object's characteristics, such as size, color, or screen
location, or an aspect of its behavior, such as whether it is
enabled or visible. To change the characteristics of an
object, you change the values of its properties.
 To set the value of a property, follow the reference to an
object with a period, the property name, an equal sign (=),
and the new property value. For example, the following
procedure changes the caption of a Visual Basic form by
setting the Caption property.

Sub ChangeName(newTitle)
myForm.Caption = newTitle
End Sub
Events
 An event is an action recognized by an object,
such as clicking the mouse or pressing a key, and
for which you can write code to respond.
 Events can occur as a result of a user action or
program code, or they can be triggered by the
system.
 Most common events are: click, keydown,
keypress, mousemove, mouseclick etc.
EVENT HANDLING
 Events are basically a user action like key press, clicks, mouse
movements, etc., or some occurrence like system generated
notifications. Applications need to respond to events when they
occur.
 Clicking on a button, or entering some text in a text box, or
clicking on a menu item, all are examples of events. An event
is an action that calls a function or may cause another event.
Event handlers are functions that tell how to respond to an
event.
 VB.Net is an event-driven language. There are mainly two
types of events −

 Mouse events
 Keyboard events
 Handling Mouse Events
Mouse events occur with mouse movements in forms and
controls. Following are the various mouse events related with
a Control class −

 MouseDown − it occurs when a mouse button is pressed

 MouseEnter − it occurs when the mouse pointer enters the
control
 MouseHover − it occurs when the mouse pointer hovers over
the control
 MouseLeave − it occurs when the mouse pointer leaves the
control
 MouseMove − it occurs when the mouse pointer moves over
the control
 MouseUp − it occurs when the mouse pointer is over the
control and the mouse button is released
 MouseWheel − it occurs when the mouse wheel moves and
the control has focus
 Handling Keyboard Events
 KeyDown − occurs when a key is pressed down and the control has
focus
 KeyPress − occurs when a key is pressed and the control has focus
 KeyUp − occurs when a key is released while the control has focus

 The event handlers of the KeyDown and KeyUp events get an argument
of type KeyEventArgs. This object has the following properties −

 Alt − it indicates whether the ALT key is pressed
 Control − it indicates whether the CTRL key is pressed
 Handled − it indicates whether the event is handled
 KeyCode − stores the keyboard code for the event
 KeyData − stores the keyboard data for the event
 KeyValue − stores the keyboard value for the event
 Modifiers − it indicates which modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, and/or Alt) are
pressed
 Shift − it indicates if the Shift key is pressed
