User Interface Design Coverage:
This chapter teaches you to use additional controls to build application forms. These controls include: TextBox, MaskedTextBox, RichTextbox, GroupBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, and PictureBox. You will learn how to lay out a form and set various properties to change the appearance and behavior of controls. Programming topics include clearing TextBox controls, changing text color, concate

INTRODUCTION
Chapter 2 In-Class Project
The in-class project for this chapter uses numerous controls. You will build a project form that is similar to that shown below. It will include the following new controls:
 TextBox

 GroupBox
 RadioButton
 CheckBox
 PictureBox

You learned about TextBox and Label controls in an earlier note set. This section reviews and extends your understanding of TextBox and Label controls.
TextBox controls can be used for:
 Data input – this use requires no special property settings.
 Data output display. o Set the ReadOnly property to
