Do NOT reply to this if you do not own VB!
I have noticed several people here have no clue how to use Visual Basic.
OK First I should teach you about how to add a item to your object.
Here is the object (form):
To change the title of your form your must use the propertys box and change the name to what you want. Here is your property box:
You look at the subject on the left, and change the data on the right.
The name is not the text on the object, it is what you call the object in your code.
If you want to change the text on the object, not in the code, look in the propertys menu for Caption (or for Text is it is a textbox/richtextbox).
To add an item to your form, it is a lot like MS Paint (if you ever use that).
You click on one of these items:
(or Press Ctrl+T to get more advanced items to add to your Objects ToolBar). Once you have that, you make an item on the object by holding the mouse down and moving it to make it bigger and smaller. Then, edit your item however you like with the propertys.
To make new forms look at this part of VB:
Right click, go to new, and do new form. You will have a new form opened and in your project. To go to forms you accessed earlier in your project construction, simply double click the form name and it will open.
Last part of the layout:
The Menu Bar. Visual Basic's menu bar is very advanced. It looks like this:
There you can save your project, make your project an executable file (so it can run out of VB), Start it, Stop it, and look at other stuff like editing your own menu bar. I suggest you look around at this stuff and fool around with it for awhile to get used to it.
