Form is the start of the program when the application is first run. The Form looks like a blank application window you see when you open any Visual Basic software program.

Timer executes code at regular intervals by causing a timer event to occur

PictureBox displays graphics Form bitmap, icon, or metafile, JPEG or GIF files

TextBox displays information entered at design time, entered by the user with a toggle choice

If then Else, an IF block statement is used to check whether the logical test is true or false. It will take the course of action based on the result retrieved on the logical test.

<Name of Form>.Show allows the user to go automatically to the next question/Form

Me.Hide allows the user to hide the current Form
