In this assignment you will learn how to use a graphical user interface builder tool, namely, Visual Basic on the Windows NT cluster. The objective of the assignment is to build an interface which appears like (or with some embellishments) the one pictured below.

You should use the demonstration session from class as a starter toward using Visual Basic. Also examine the tutorials available over the Web. From there, you should just interact with the tool and build up your interface. Part of the challenge of this assignment is the open-ended nature of it. So you need to be resourceful and exploratory to discover how to accomplish all the necessary tasks.

More details will be coming later on how to turn in your design. For now, just make sure you always save your Visual Basic file and you create an executable (.exe) for the project.

Feel free to embellish the interface. Just make sure you use the noted controls. Add some color. One big test could be to see whether your interface responds to resizing the main outer window well. See if you can get that to work.
