Configure form controls

No further configuration is required to the Name and Sex fields, but you could, if you

wish, give a name to each control and change the appearance of the controls.

The list box must be configured to add the list of options. The check boxes must be

configured to add in the names (instead of Check Box, Check Box1, and so forth).

Following are instructions to configure these controls:

1) Be sure design mode is on. Double-click on the List Box control within the

document to open the control’s Properties dialog box. Select the General tab.

2) In the List Entries box (scroll down if it is not visible), type the names of the

shapes (Circle, Triangle, Square, Pentagon) separated by ”;” and then press

Enter. You should end up with a line saying

“Circle”;”Triangle”;”Square”;”Pentagon”.

3) Click on the first Check Box. The Properties dialog box stays open but changes

to show the properties for the check box.

4) Change the Label field from Check Box to Circle and press Enter. The cursor

moves to Label Field and the label on the check box in the document changes

immediately.

5) Click on each of the other three check boxes in turn. Change the Label in the

Properties dialog box to Triangle, Square, and Pentagon in turn.
