Changing the Appearance of a Form

The properties window can actually show two different sets of properties for a form. Right now, it's probably showing the file properties of the form (the properties that describe the physical file(s) on the hard drive). If so, click the form in the designer once again to view its development properties. Take a moment to browse the rest of the form's properties in the Properties window. In this hour, I'll show you how to use the more common properties of the form to tailor its appearance.

Remember, to get help on any property at any time, select the property in the Properties window and press F1.
