Lets do a Trivial Example Together

We are going to construct a form and give it some functionality

We start with a blank form

Then we Add Some Controls

Make a form that looks something like this

Some housekeeping

Its always a good idea to get an idea of what our controls are named and setup their default values.

Set the default text property of our text box to something fun.

Now for the Fun...Programming :)

Our Goal is to make this form change the value in the text field to happy/sad depending on the button clicked

Lets get into macro view

Right click a button and select 'Build Event'

Here is our 'Sad' button

Notice the action catalog to the right as well

Your turn!

Go ahead and try and make the happy button do its job

Congratulations

While this could be considered trivial being able to interact with properties is very important to generating rich applications

Remember programming is all small trivial pieces
