Summary

In this chapter, you started where you left off in the previous chapter, by examining the MainMenu and ToolBar controls. You saw how to create MDI and SDI applications and how menus and toolbars are used in those applications. You then moved on to create a control of your own, designing properties, user interface, and events for the control. the next chapter will complete the discussion of Windows Forms by looking at the one special type of form only glossed over so far: the Windows common dialogs.

In this chapter, you learned to:

• Use the three Strip controls that allow you to work with menus, toolbars, and status bars in Windows Forms.

• Create MDI applications, which are used to extend the text editor even further.

• Create controls of your own by building on existing controls.
