Información general sobre cómo utilizar controles en los formularios Windows Forms
Actualización: noviembre 2007
En este tema se describen los elementos básicos de una aplicación de Windows Forms y se ofrece un ejemplo en el que se utilizan controles y se controlan eventos en una aplicación de Windows Forms.
Aplicaciones de Windows forms sencillas
Una aplicación de Windows Forms se compone, como mínimo, de los siguientes elementos.
Una o más clases que derivan de System.Windows.Forms.Form.
Un método Main que invoca el método Runstatic (shared en Visual Basic) y le pasa una instancia Form. El método Run procesa los mensajes desde el sistema operativo en la aplicación.
En el siguiente ejemplo de código se muestran los elementos básicos de una aplicación de Windows Forms.
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);
}
}
Utilizar controles en una aplicación de Windows Forms
En el siguiente ejemplo de código se muestra una aplicación sencilla que ilustra cómo las aplicaciones de Windows Forms utilizan los controles y controlan los eventos. El ejemplo incluye tres botones de un formulario; cada botón cambia el color de fondo cuando se presiona.
Option Explicit
Option Strict
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Resources
Imports System.Drawing
Public Class MyForm
Inherits Form
Private red As Button
Private blue As Button
Private green As Button
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing as Boolean)
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
' InitializeComponent is a helper method for the constructor.
' It is included for consistency with code that is
' auto-generated by the Windows Forms designer in Visual Studio.
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
' Creates three buttons, sets their properties, and attaches
' an event handler to each button.
red = New Button()
red.Text = "Red"
red.Location = New Point(100, 50)
red.Size = New Size(50, 50)
AddHandler red.Click, AddressOf button_Click
Controls.Add(red)
blue = New Button()
blue.Text = "Blue"
blue.Location = New Point(100, 100)
blue.Size = New Size(50, 50)
AddHandler blue.Click, AddressOf button_Click
Controls.Add(blue)
green = New Button()
green.Text = "Green"
green.Location = New Point(100, 150)
green.Size = New Size(50, 50)
AddHandler green.Click, AddressOf button_Click
Controls.Add(green)
End Sub
' Event handler.
Private Sub button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
If sender Is red Then
Me.BackColor = Color.Red
Else
If sender Is blue Then
Me.BackColor = Color.Blue
Else
Me.BackColor = Color.Green
End If
End If
End Sub
' The STAThreadAttribute informs the common language runtime that
' Windows Forms uses the single-threaded apartment model.
<STAThread()> _
Public Shared Sub Main()
Application.Run(New MyForm())
End Sub
End Class

}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
// InitializeComponent is a helper method for the constructor.
// It is included for consistency with code that is
// auto-generated by the Windows Forms designer in Visual Studio.
private void InitializeComponent() {
// A delegate for the click event of a button. The argument to
// the constructor contains a reference to the method that performs the
// event handling logic.
EventHandler handler = new EventHandler(button_Click);
// Creates three buttons, sets their properties, and attaches
// an event handler to each button.
red = new Button();
red.Text = "Red";
red.Location = new Point(100, 50);
red.Size = new Size(50, 50);
red.Click +=handler;
Controls.Add(red);
blue = new Button();
blue.Text = "Blue";
blue.Location = new Point(100, 100);
blue.Size = new Size(50, 50);
blue.Click += handler;
Controls.Add(blue);
green = new Button();
green.Text = "Green";
green.Location = new Point(100, 150);
green.Size = new Size(50, 50);
green.Click += handler;
Controls.Add(green);
}
// Event handler.
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (sender == red) this.BackColor = Color.Red ;
else if (sender == blue) this.BackColor = Color.Blue;
else this.BackColor = Color.Green;
}
// The STAThreadAttribute informs the common language runtime that
