Chapter 7: Windows Forms Controls
  • Introduction: A class hierarchy diagram offers a natural way to group Windows Forms controls by their functionality.
  • Button Controls: The Button, CheckBox, and RadioButton controls are designed to permit users to make one or more selections on a form.
  • PictureBox and TextBoxt Controls: The PictureBox control is used to display and scale images; the TextBox control can be used to easily display and edit single or multiple lines of text.
  • List Controls: The ListBox, ComboBox, and CheckListBox offer different interfaces for displaying and manipulating data in a list format.
  • ListView and TreeView Controls: The ListView offers multiple views for displaying data items and their associated icons. The TreeView presents hierarchical information in an easy-to-navigate tree structure.
  • Timer and Progress Bar Controls: A timer can be used to control when an event is invoked, a ProgressBar to visually monitor the progress of an operation.
  • Building a User Control: When no control meets an application’s needs, a custom one can be crafted by combining multiple controls or adding features to an existing one.
  • Moving Data Between Controls: Drag and drop provides an easy way for users to copy or move an item from one control to another. .NET offers a variety of classes and events required to implement this feature.
  • Using Resources: Resources required by a program, such as title, descriptive labels, and images, can be embedded within an application’s assembly or stored in a satellite assembly. This is particularly useful for developing international applications.
