Question 1

If you want a form to be centered on the screen when it first appears,you must set the _______ property of the Form.
A)WindowState
B)Maximized
C)StartPosition
D)Centered

Accepted Answer

The StartPosition property allows you to specify where the form will appear on the screen when it is first shown. "CenterScreen" is one of the options for this property, which will automatically center the form on the screen. The other options are "Manual" (which lets you specify the top-left position of the form on the screen using the Location property) and "WindowsDefaultLocation" (which lets the operating system determine where to position the form based on default settings). Setting the WindowState property to Maximized would cause the form to fill the entire screen when it is first shown, but it would not necessarily be centered. The Centered property does not exist for forms.

Question 2

In order to make a picture appear in a PictureBox control,you must set the ____ property.
A)Image
B)Picture
C)Graphic
D)Icon

Accepted Answer

The Image property is specifically designed to display images in a PictureBox control. The Picture and Graphic properties are not valid options, and the Icon property is used to display icons, not pictures.

Question 3

Which of the following statements will clear the contents of a text box named MessageTextBox?
A)MessageTextBox.Text = ""
B)MessageTextBox.Clear()
C)MessageTextBox.Text = String.Empty
D)All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

All the options provided are valid ways to clear the text from a text box in many programming environments, such as .NET (C# or VB.NET). Setting the Text property to an empty string or calling the Clear method both achieve the same result of removing any text from the text box.

Question 4

A hair-styling salon needs help designing a form for the various services that they offer.What would you suggest they use that will display all of the services,and that will allow the customers to choose one or more items?
A)Check boxes
B)Text boxes
C)Radio buttons
D)Rich text boxes

Accepted Answer

Check boxes would be the best choice for a hair-styling salon to display all the services they offer and allow customers to choose one or more services. This would provide a clear visual display of all the services available and allow customers to easily select the services they want. Additionally, it would allow the salon to easily keep track of which services the customer chose, as they can simply mark each checked box.

Question 5

Setting the TabIndex of a control to 0 (zero)will _______.
A)cause the control to appear to the right of the other controls
B)make the control Visible
C)align the control to the left of the other controls
D)set the focus on this control when the program begins running

Accepted Answer

Setting the TabIndex of a control to 0 (zero) means that this control will have the first priority to receive focus when the program starts running. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are not related to the TabIndex property.

Question 6

If a radio button is currently selected,its _______ property will be True.
A)Checked
B)Enabled
C)Selected
D)Visible

Accepted Answer

The "Checked" property is used to determine if a radio button is selected or not. If it is selected, the value of the "Checked" property will be True.

Question 7

Create keyboard access on an object by ______________ in the Text property.
A)using ampersand (&)
B)using at (@)
C)using underscore ( _ )
D)capitalizing the first letter of the word

Accepted Answer

Using an ampersand (&) before a letter or number in the Text property of an object creates keyboard access. When the user presses the Alt key and the corresponding letter or number, the object will be accessed. For example, if the Text property of a button is set to "&OK", the user can press the Alt key and O to activate the button.

Question 8

The property used to display something in a PictureBox control is _______.
A)Picture
B)Name
C)Text
D)Image

Accepted Answer

The Image property is used to display an image in a PictureBox control. The Picture property is not a valid property for a PictureBox control, the Name property is used to set the name of the control, and the Text property is used for controls that display text, such as a Label control.

Question 9

As a program runs,the insertion point can be moved from control to control.In order to reset the focus back in a text box named NameTextBox,you should use the code _______.
A)NameTextBox.Focus()
B)NameTextBox = Focus()
C)NameTextBox = Top()
D)NameTextBox.First()

Accepted Answer

The correct code to reset focus back in a text box named NameTextBox is NameTextBox.Focus(). This method sets keyboard focus to the control. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B, C and D are not valid methods to reset the focus of a control.

Question 10

Small labels that pop up when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a control on the form are created by _______.
A)using the Focus method
B)changing the object's Text property to True
C)setting the object's ToolTip on ToolTip1 property
D)setting the object's Value property to True

Accepted Answer

The small labels that pop up when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a control on the form are called tooltips. These are enabled by setting the object's ToolTip on ToolTip1 property. Using the Focus method or setting the object's Text property to True or Value property to True do not create tooltips.

Question 11

You can vertically align a group of controls on your form by first selecting all of the controls to be aligned,and then _______.
A)setting their Size property to the same value
B)choosing Align Lefts from the Layout toolbar
C)selecting "Make Same Size" from the Layout toolbar
D)setting their Height property to the same value

Accepted Answer

Choosing "Align Lefts" from the Layout toolbar will vertically align the selected group of controls based on the leftmost control's position. Setting their size or height to the same value will only make them the same height/size but will not align them vertically. "Make Same Size" will only make them the same size but will not align them vertically.

Question 12

Which design time property setting should be used on an object named UserInputTextBox in order to make the insertion point appear in the object when the form first appears?
A)Focus property set to True
B)TabStop property set to Focus
C)TabIndex property set to True
D)TabIndex property set to 0

Accepted Answer

The TabIndex property set to 0 makes the UserInputTextBox the first control to receive focus when the form is displayed, thus placing the insertion point in the object.

Question 13

The Focus method _______.
A)will adjust the picture clarity on the monitor
B)can be used to clear the contents of a text box
C)allows the programmer to set the Tab order
D)is used to place the insertion point in an object

Accepted Answer

The Focus method is used to place the insertion point in an object, such as a textbox or button. It does not adjust picture clarity, clear text box contents or set the Tab order.

Question 14

If the text displayed on a button is "Clear",and the C in the word Clear is underlined,the user can press ______________ to execute the code in the "Clear" button.
A)just the letter C
B)the Ctrl key and the letter C
C)the Alt key and the letter C
D)the Shift key and the letter C

Accepted Answer

In graphical user interfaces, when a letter in a button's text is underlined, it typically indicates a keyboard shortcut where the user can press the Alt key along with the underlined letter to execute the button's action. In this case, pressing Alt+C would activate the "Clear" button.

Question 15

A)set the SizeMode property to True
B)set the Visible property to True

A)appear to the right of the other controls
B)be skipped when the user presses the Tab key
C)be aligned to the left of the other controls

Question 17

The _______ symbol is used for creating keyboard access on Visual Basic objects.
A)& (ampersand)
B)@ (at)
C)' (apostrophe)
D)_ (underscore)

Accepted Answer

The ampersand symbol is used in Visual Basic for creating keyboard access keys for objects, such as buttons or labels, which allows users to activate them using keyboard shortcuts. For example, if a button has an access key of "&Save", pressing Alt + S will trigger the button's click event.

Question 18

Setting the AcceptButton property of a form to a button name will cause the code in that button to be executed when the user presses _______.
A)the Esc key

B)set the Visible property to True
C)set the SizeMode property to AutoSize
D)set the Visible property to False
