0, In this demonstration, you will learn
3, how to create the user interface for the
5, Lucky Seven slot machine. Lucky Seven
8, contains seven objects that I will create
9, with controls in the Visual Basic
11, toolbox. First, I'll move a few of the
13, programming tools out of the way to make more
15, room for our form. I'll drag with the
17, sizing handle and then create a bigger form
21, so that we can see all the objects at
22, once on the screen. I'll start by clicking
30, the CommandButton control in the Visual
32, Basic toolbox and I'll create a command
34, button object on the form by dragging.
38, I can resize the CommandButton control
41, using the selection handles. And I can
44, create a second control by clicking the
45, CommandButton control again and dragging
49, it on the form. These will be named Spin
52, and End when the program runs.To hold
55, the output of the Spin windows, I'll
57, create three label objects on the form. I'll
59, create these objects with the Label
61, control in the Visual Basic toolbox. First,
63, I'll click the Label control. Then, I'll
67, create three windows approximately the
68, same size. If I didn't get the sizing
77, exactly right, I can resize them with the
80, selection handles. This one needs a
84, little bit of extra work.To show the name of
92, the program, I'll create a Form label
94, below the command buttons. When the
99, program runs, this label will display the
101, phrase, Lucky Seven. And finally, we'll use
104, the Image control in the Visual Basic
106, toolbox to create an image object on our
108, form. The image object will display a
110, stack of coins when the user wins the
114, program. In the next demonstration, we'll
117, configure these seven objects with
118, properties settings.
