Visual environment/ Workspace
Indicates the project name, the current Visual Basic operating mode, and the current form.
Title bar
Has drop-down menus from which you control the operation of the Visual basic environment.
Menu bar
Has buttons that provide shortcuts to some of the menu options.
Toolbar
Bar that runs horizontally across an application window and contains either the name of the file or document you are viewing.
Title Bar
What are the three icons in the right side.
close, open and minimize
The line of the text that lies across the top of the Visual basic toolbar. Gives you access to many features within the development environment.
The Menu bar
Found in the Left side of the menus. You work with the actual files that make up your applications. You can create, open, print and save projects.
File Menu

Edit Menu
The heart of your project you can add or removed forms, code elements, user controls and property pages. Many of these menu options can be accessed by right-clicking the toolbox or project explorer.
Project Menu
The options on the format menu deal specifically with the size and placement of controls and form.
Format Menu
you can stop and start your applications, set watches and break points, and perform other tasks to help monitor your applications progress
Debug Option
You can control the whole visual basic environment from the menu bar but the toolbar gives you easy access to the menu bar commands that you frequently use.
Toolbar
Central to developing Visual Basic applications. It is where you draw your application.
Form Window
The first window you’ll become familiar with because it lets you visually create the user interface for your applications. contains the icons of all the basic controls that is, all the controls that are included in the visual basic development tools.
Toolbox Window
Lists all the properties of the object that is currently selected and gives you the opportunity to modify them. For instance, you can change the foreground and background colors of the form or the control that is currently selected. You can list properties in alphabetical order or group them in categories.
Properties Window
Show how a given from will be displayed when the program runs.
Form Layout Window
Displays a list of all forms and elements making up your application. You can also obtain a view of the Form or Code windows (window containing the actual basic coding
Project Window
Allows you to design your application’s user interface. Any applications can multiple forms, and you can open a number of form designers at Form window.
Form Designer Window
Controls visible in the Toolbox window when you launch the environment. It includes Label, Textbox and Command Button controls that are used in nearly every application
Objects
