Using the "Normal" Form as a Template

Setting defaults for a single form is useful but time consuming. Often, you want all the forms in your application to have a similar appearance or behavior. To use the same control defaults in all new forms you create, use a template form. Set all the desired control defaults in the toolbox, and set general properties of the form such as background color and default style and view. Then, save the form as "Normal." New forms you create will use the same defaults as the Normal form.
