Übersicht über die Verwendung von Steuerelementen in Windows Forms

In diesem Abschnitt werden die wichtigsten Elemente einer Windows Forms-Anwendung beschrieben. Anhand eines einfachen Beispiels wird dargestellt, wie in einer Windows Forms-Anwendung Steuerelemente verwendet und Ereignisse verarbeitet werden.

Einfache Windows Forms-Anwendung

Eine Windows Forms-Anwendung beinhaltet mindestens die folgenden Elemente:

  • Eine oder mehrere Klassen, die von System.Windows.Forms.Form abgeleitet sind.

  • Eine Main-Methode, die die static-Methode Run aufruft (shared in Visual Basic) und eine Form-Instanz an diese übergibt. Die Run-Methode verarbeitet Meldungen des Betriebssystems an die Anwendung.

Im folgenden Codebeispiel werden die wichtigsten Elemente einer Windows Forms-Anwendung gezeigt.

Option Explicit
Option Strict

Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class MyForm
   Inherits Form
   
   Public Sub New()
      Me.Text = "Hello World"
   End Sub 'New
   
   <STAThread()> _
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Dim aform As New MyForm()
      ' The Application.Run method processes messages from the operating system 
      ' to your application. If you comment out the next line of code, 
      ' your application will compile and execute, but because it is not in the
      ' message loop, it will exit after an instance of the form is created.
      Application.Run(aform)
   End Sub
End Class
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class MyForm : Form {

   public MyForm() {
      this.Text = "Hello World";
   }
   [STAThread]
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
     MyForm aform = new MyForm();
// The Application.Run method processes messages from the operating system 
// to your application. If you comment out the next line of code, 
// your application will compile and execute, but because it is not in the // message loop, it will exit after an instance of the form is created.
      Application.Run(aform);
   }
}

Verwenden von Steuerelementen in einer Windows Forms-Anwendung

Im folgenden Codebeispiel wird anhand einer einfachen Anwendung veranschaulicht, wie in Windows Forms-Anwendungen Steuerelemente verwendet und Ereignisse behandelt werden. Das Beispiel besteht aus drei Schaltflächen in einem Formular; durch Klicken auf diese Schaltflächen wird die Hintergrundfarbe geändert.
