00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:01,750
Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,370
In this lecture we are going to create a blank project with a form

3
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:12,930
let's open up Visual Studio.

4
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:22,140
So click on your starts and then look at the icon right click and go run as administrator to make sure

5
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:25,620
you run it as administrator wherever possible.

6
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:32,550
So once you got Visual Studio loaded up with click on the new project link you can either access it

7
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:35,930
fly this way or you can go to the File menu.

8
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:40,770
That's a file and there's a new project option.

9
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:42,460
So you've got two ways to get to it.

10
00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:46,180
So click on the project.

11
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:58,320
Give it a few minutes to load up and once it loads up it should give you a choice of templates to select

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,330
from.

13
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,730
All right make sure you got on the templates.

14
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:13,370
You go visual see sharp selected and make sure you've got windows form applications selected Waze got

15
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:19,560
name you need to keep the application a name so just going to get rid of the default name.

16
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:28,260
I'm going to call mind my music

17
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:37,010
player so feel free to call yours whatever you want.

18
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,330
If you're using several words like I've done here have used three words.

19
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:50,540
Make sure you leave no spaces between the words click okay and we'll wait for Visual Studio to build

20
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:59,280
the form inclusive of the project so it will create the project and add a form for us.

21
00:01:59,330 --> 00:02:07,550
That's great so Visual Studio has created the project and has also given us a form so inside this form

22
00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:10,860
is where we will create our music player.

23
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,480
So we need to change some properties or the forms will make sure the form is selected and on the left

24
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,980
here is the properties.

25
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:26,570
You can tell the form is selected because here is called form one which matches the name of the form.

26
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:36,380
Okay so that form one here is just a text that title text is derived from this text property but we

27
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:38,210
know we are in the right.

28
00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:39,910
We are.

29
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:44,450
We've got the properties for the form because we know is form one.

30
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:52,230
Anyway so let's change some properties first property let's change the name.

31
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:56,960
So just I'm gonna call mine my

32
00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:00,740
music

33
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:04,580
player.

34
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:09,860
You can call yours anything you want maybe MP 3 player whatever doesn't really matter.

35
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:14,710
So if I click enter you can see the name as reflected there.

36
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,780
Another thing I want to do I want to give it a background colour.

37
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:29,150
So this should is a property here called back colour so click on that and click on this dropdown click

38
00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:36,980
on web and just browse true the colours oh less black.

39
00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:38,240
I don't want black.

40
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:44,930
So browse through the different colours you want to give you different list of colours.

41
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,370
I am gonna go for lime green.

42
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,120
I like that colour.

43
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,130
Next property I want to change.

44
00:03:55,130 --> 00:04:02,340
I want the form to be centred so when the when you run the application I want it to be centred.

45
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,800
When the applications start there's a property for that cold start position.

46
00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:14,360
So I'm going to click on that and the option I'm going to select centre screen I want it to be centred

47
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,840
on the screen when it starts.

48
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:22,440
At the moment you can resize the form various ways.

49
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:23,610
OK.

50
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:27,060
If you want just using does this.

51
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:34,700
These blank squares you can use that to resize the form when the application is running.

52
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:42,220
I don't want whoever's accessing the application to be able to resize to use it maximize button someone

53
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:43,450
or deactivate that.

54
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:51,050
So this maximise both in here as a property called maximize box at the moment is set to true but I'm

55
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:53,930
going to disable it and set it to false.

56
00:04:53,950 --> 00:05:03,650
That means when the application is running they will not be able to use the maximise button.

57
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:10,820
The reason we can resize the form using this little squares because this auto size property here is

58
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:12,890
being set to force.

59
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,440
So we're going to leave it like that so that we can resize the phone as we during the design phase.

60
00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:25,570
So currently this is the size of the form so you find drag that only you can notice the.

61
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:31,610
You can see that the property size which so you can see the values he has changed.

62
00:05:31,610 --> 00:05:39,180
So if I drag this down that will increase the height and you see that value has changed as well.

63
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:46,730
I want to manually set this but you know feel free to play around with whatever suits you.

64
00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:59,390
I'm gonna set this to 6 9 7 that's the width and I'm going to set the height to 2 9 7.

65
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,990
I can change it later if I don't like it.

66
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,560
So.

67
00:06:03,190 --> 00:06:12,050
Alright so this is the size also I don't want the user to be able to resize the form so I'm gonna change

68
00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:12,880
this property.

69
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:15,710
This border style at the moment is saying sizeable.

70
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:23,570
I'm going to change that to fixed dialogue that way when the application is running the form cannot

71
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:27,470
be resized so that's it.

72
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:33,700
I am happy with the design of the form so far so I'm just going to exit.

73
00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:36,770
Just gonna save that click on Save.

74
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:41,210
I'll just say whatever was done and then that's it for this lecture.

75
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,290
So in this lecture we have created the project.

76
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,540
We have also changed some of the properties of the form.

77
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,700
Thank you for watching.

78
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:53,360
Bye for now.
