Form

A Form object is a window or dialog box that makes up part of an application's user interface.

Syntax

Form

The Form object properties, methods, and events listed in the following table are supported:

Remarks

Forms have properties that determine aspects of their appearance, such as position, size, and color; and aspects of their behavior, such as whether or not they are resizable.

Forms can also respond to events initiated by a user or triggered by the system. For example, you could write code in a form's Click event procedure that would enable the user to change the color of a form by clicking it.

In addition to properties and events, you can use methods to manipulate forms using code. For example, you can use the Move method to change a form's location and size.

When designing forms, set the BorderStyle property to define a form's border, and set the Caption property to put text in the title bar. In code, you can use the Hide and Show methods to make forms invisible or visible at run-time.

Note Setting BorderStyle to 0 removes the border. If you want your form to have a border without the title bar or Control-menu box, delete any text from the form's Caption property and set the form's ControlBox properties to False.
