Working with controls. Using Properties, Methods and Events You
use controls to get user input and to display output. Some of
the controls you can use in your applications include text

of properties, methods, and events that can be modified from the
properties window or from the code Properties are simple to

Human.Eyes = Brown Human.Weight = 156 If you wanted to change
any other properties, you could do that too. As long as the
property is available. For example, you cannot do this:
Human.Beak = True. The nice thing about properties is that you
do not have to know what it takes
