Murach's Visual Basic 2008
More skills for working with Windows forms and controls

To keep the emphasis on the Visual Basic essentials, the first nine chapters present single-form applications that contain label, text box, and button controls. But now that you're ready for it, this chapter shows you how to use controls like combo boxes, list boxes, and check boxes in developing multi-form applications.
