Draw a control, double click it to bring up the sub for a click event and make it do something sexy. And even better than that, everything you do is prompted with some sort of drop down or tooltip, like if you type form1. it gives you a list of all the things you can do, so if your not sure how to make a window show, it stumped me once upon a time... you would type form1. (or whatecer the name of the form was!) [drop down list] [select "Show"] Simple, they chuck in a load of samples that you can call your own. Trouble is Biblio doesnt work! Trust Microsoft to do a mini windoze called biblio :P
