And I was thinking of trying to use panels instead of sepereate forms. what do you think about using panels?

Whatever your preference is really, it's all in how you want to display it to the end user. The only difference between a Panel and a Groupbox is Groupboxes let you add a caption to it (panels don't), and Panels can have scrollbars (groupboxes can't). So if you need to add so many controls to a single window that it would make morse sense to have a scrollbar in it's frame, then a panel is useful. If you don't need a scrollbar, you can use either one. btw, in a Groupbox you can also have no caption if you want, just delete the default one it adds when you create it and don't type in anything.

Re: Mouse move event

FYI I changed that question from using the mousehover to the mousemove event and it works much better.

Re: Mouse move event

Well I'm almost done with this quiz app. I got it keeping score and will show you what % you got right out of 100%. I have to write in something though that will handle if a person doesn't enter in anything for a question. right now it goes out of bounds of my array and errors out if you try and submit without answering one or more questions. But I should be able to figure that out.

I have a silly question though Dogg, In order to show you my code for this app how exactly do I do that? With VS how would I view the code to the whole application all together in a way to present it?

That's called Input Validation. You can either trap the error(s) and handle them, or check them first, before anything else happens. I don't know if you're using text boxes, or what, for them to answer in, but for textboxes for example, you could check for it to be empty with something like an If txtBox.text.length = 0 then messagebox.show("You forgot to answer","Hey dum dum"). Or the same thing but check for an empty string like, If txtBox.text = "" then etc. etc.

There are similar ways to handle checkboxes. Option controls you don't need to worry about because as long as you set one of them as a default value when creating them, there'll always be one selected.

You can just zip up the entire project folder and send it to me. When you code in VS it automatically creates compiled versions in the "bin" folder, a subfolder in that project's folder. There'll be a Debug version and a release version. You can leave those out of the zipped up project though, to make the zip smaller. As soon as someone else runs it once in VS the get created. Btw, that's also where you get the final .exe to distribute once you're done ... the one in the Release folder.

Re: Mouse move event

yep I'm using radio buttons for the answers. All multiple choice. So I was figureing on just making a msgbox pop up telling them to answer and not let them move on till they do. I could just have it count no answer as a wrong answer but think I'd rather do it the other way.

So far I've only been doing the build option wich gives me an .exe in the debug folder. Seems like if I "publish" it creats a setup wich I don't really want. Or is there another way to get the final version of my project in the release folder other then just using build?

Doing a Build also puts one in the Release folder.
