Introduction- For this task I will be explaining the tools and techniques that are used in
visual basic programming and they include; Selection, loops, event handlers, use of tool
boxes and control, triggers, object , menus and debugging tool.
The elements in visuals basics are Forms, Buttons, Boxes, Labels and pictures.

This is a form window which that the user will be
designing the application interface on this form. This
is often called the primary work area for making
applications. The form size can be expanded
depending on how big the user wants the interface to
look like. It is recommended that the smaller the
application is the smaller the layout should be. The
form works by user dragging and dropping objects
and controls from the toolbox to the form and then
adding functions to the objects so that they can be
guided and run according to the instruction.
Above image is a screenshot of the menu bar in visual basic. The menu bar is located on top
of the software program. The menu bar contains lots of drop down options to provide more
tools to the user to help them make their programming more efficient. The reason for this
menu bar is to minimize the gatherings of toolboxes around the screen therefore by
categorising the tools it makes the program more user friendly and more efficient for the user
to use.
The right-hand screen shot is a picture of the
properties window in visual basic. The properties
allow the user to make changes to the objects
functions and edit the interface of it. For example
using the properties window you can change the name
of the object so that when it comes to code the
function for the object you would automatically know
which object you’re coding the function for. Other
usage of this window is that you can change the colour
of the object and lot more including their sizes and
appearance. The main purpose of using this window is
to customize the objects located on the form.
