1. Create the interface in Figure 2-13. The Name properties of the form, text box,
and command button should be set as shown in the Object column. The Caption
property of the form should be set to Demonstration, the Text property of the
text box should be made blank, and the Caption property of the command button
should be set to Make Phrase Bold.
2. Double-click on the text box. A window, called the Code window, appears. See
Figure 2-14. Just below the title bar are two drop-down list boxes. The left box
is called the Object box and the right box is called the Procedure box. (When
you position the mouse pointer over one of these list boxes, its type appears.)
