Example

In this example, we create three text boxes and use the Click event of a button to display the entered text using a message box. Take the following steps:

1. Drag and drop three Label controls and three TextBox controls on the form.
2. Change the texts on the labels to: Name, Company and Comments respectively.
3. Change the names of the text boxes to txtName, txtOrg and txtComment respectively.
4. Drag and drop a button control on the form. Set its name to btnMessage and its text property to 'Send Message'.
