Summary• There are two ways to create lines on a forms. You can

create a line control, or you can use the line method to draw a line on a form using Visual Basic code.

• A Shape control is similar to a Line control except that the Shape control contains several additional properties, which allows you to change the shape and shading of the control.

• The BorderColor and BorderWidth properties specify the color and width of ordinary lines and the color and width of border lines for a shape. The FillColor and FillStyle properties specify how a shape will be filled.

• The properties of both Line controls and Shape controls cannot manipulate it.

• Distance and position on a form is measured using coordinates. The top left corner of a form has the coordinates (0,0).

• All coordinates are positive. As you move toward the bottom of a form, the X-coordinate value increases. As you move toward the right of the form, the Y- coordinate value increases.

• You specify where the Line method should draw a line by using specific coordinates. You can also specify the color of the line in the parameters.

• The ScaleMethod property allows you to adjust the coordinate system of a form to be measured in twips, pixels, or points.

• The Line method can also create boxes, either filled or unfilled.
