VBA allows us to create our own forms and dialog boxes. This capability can be utilized to accept user input in the application.
Forms consist of various controls arranged in some order. Controls are objects which are capable of accepting user inputs and detecting events. Examples of controls include :
Button, Label, text-field and list-box.
These controls and the form itself need to be assigned some properties. This can be done using the property sheet displayed in the designer. Default properties are already assigned to the objects. These can be changed by clicking in the sheet and typing in the required value.
