In this lesson we learn about How To Use VB.Net Toolbox to Create the Screen Form for a T-Shirts Shop.
New learning in the Lesson is How to Setup and Copy "Panels" on screen forms in VB.Net.
In later lessons, when the Coding is fully completed, the finished Screen Form will take Orders as shown below:
The Downloads for this lesson include the Detailed Designs for making the Screen in VB.NET :
The Learning in this Lesson will be essential for future VB.Net Programming Lessons, which we will be progressively adding to our Channel. There are Downloads for this lesson (see later below) which give detailed Step by Step Instructions for completing the Lesson.
We strongly suggest getting these Downloads as well as watching the Lesson Video.
The Lesson Downloads explain in detail How to Make the Screen Form and use Panels to group items. These Panels can then be easily copied and pasted to build the Form faster.
The Downloads also contain a Challenge Task to check and reinforce Student Learning.
The Step by Step Guide which is available below for this lesson, shows exactly what needs to be done.
This Guide has all of the Design Principles and Theory behind what is being done at each stage of application development.
Included in the Resources Download for this lesson is the full Form Design and Files.
The Lesson can be fully completed using the Download Guides without watching the Video.
If you are a Teacher or Instructor we suggest you click the downloads link below and get the lesson materials for your students.
Give these resources to your students and we think you will find that some of them will "get it" very quickly.
The other students need to watch the video for this lesson which goes through everything in full detail slowly step by step with repetition of examples.
Note that the example Lesson Images shown on this web page are basic Printscreens, whereas the actual original Images are of perfect clarity and quality in the downloadable PDF Guide for this lesson.

Watch the following YouTube Video Tutorial about the T-Shirts Shop Order Form
We recommend you use the RESOURCE MATERIALS available below
to follow along step by step with the Tutorial Video.
The YouTube Video is free to watch as many times as you want, and the Lesson Build Guide including all required Files and Full Form Design(s) are available at a small cost which can be paid for and downloaded using PayPal.
Before purchasing and downloading the following resources, check first with your Teacher or Instructor, as they may already have copies of these documents to give to you.
Our Programming Learning Modules are designed for complete beginners, and they have been extensively trialled with High School students learning Programming for the first time. They have a proven track record of being able to get everyone up and running with Microsoft Visual Basic - the world's most popular Beginner Programmer's language.
We highly recommend using the Step by Step Summary Guide as well as the other support materials to maximise learning outcomes.
Our students have found the Summary Guide to be far more useful than re-watching the Video, when it comes time for them to apply their newly acquired skills to Application Build tasks.

One known issue is that if you PayPal buy using Mircosoft Edge, it often displays prices with A's around them like: A$2.50A.
The Edge purchase will work okay, but it is probably best to do Pay Pal purchases using Google Chrome as your browser.
