Visual Basic Controls
This lesson describes the VB Controls:
VB has two types of Controls: Intrinsic Controls
and Active Controls.
These controls represent all the Graphics User
Interfaces, as well as Operating Systems
resources, available to programmers.
Intrinsic Controls
• There are 20 controls which are built in to VB.
• These controls are called intrinsic controls.
• Every one of the intrinsic controls are available to
every VB program you write.
• When you create a "New" VB project, all 20 of the
intrinsic controls will show up in the Toolbox.
