Writing the Code
Now we must add code for the menus just created.
Each time the user selects from a menu, that selection
generates a Click event. An event
procedure for a control combines the control's actual
name (specified in the Name property), an underscore
(_), and the event name. So mnuMainExit would require
a Click event named mnuMainExit_click(). The procedures
for the other menu options are named accordingly.
You can enter code in several ways.
- You can enter the code one procedure at a time.
From the Form Window, select the menu option you
want to add code for. VB will automatically open
the Code window, and type the wrapper lines of that
options Click event procedure. Close the code window
and select the next menu option to enter its body
until you've completed the code.
- You can select the menu option from the Code window
itself. Select the menu for which you want to write
the code from the Object list. Figure 6.7 shows
an open Object list

- You can open the Code window and type the code
from beginning to end.

Writing code from beginning to
end takes extra time, because you must type the
wrapper lines yourself. |
