Шаг 3. Настройка свойств формы Step 3: Set your form properties

Далее окно Свойства используется для изменения внешнего вида формы. Next, you use the Properties window to change the way your form looks.

Настройка свойств формы How to set your form properties

Убедитесь, что отображается конструктор Windows Forms. Be sure you’re looking at Windows Forms Designer. В интегрированной среде разработки Visual Studio откройте вкладку Form1.cs [Design] (или вкладку Form1.vb [Design] в Visual Basic). In the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE), choose the Form1.cs [Design] tab (or the Form1.vb [Design] tab in Visual Basic).

Чтобы выделить форму Form1, щелкните в любом ее месте. Choose anywhere inside the form Form1 to select it. Посмотрите на окно Свойства. Теперь оно должно отображать свойства формы. Look at the Properties window, which should now be showing the properties for the form. У формы есть различные свойства. Forms have various properties. Например, можно установить цвет переднего плана и фона, текст заголовка, который отображается в верхней части формы, размер формы и другие свойства. For example, you can set the foreground and background color, title text that appears at the top of the form, size of the form, and other properties.

Если окно Свойства не открывается, остановите приложение, нажав квадратную кнопку Остановить отладку на панели инструментов, или просто закройте окно. If the Properties window doesn’t appear, stop your app by choosing the square Stop Debugging button on the toolbar, or just close the window. Если приложение остановлено, но окно Свойства все равно не отображается, в строке меню выберите Вид > Окно свойств. If the app is stopped and you still don’t see the Properties window, on the menu bar, choose View > Properties Window.

Когда форма будет выбрана, найдите свойство Text в окне Свойства. After the form is selected, find the Text property in the Properties window. В зависимости от того, как отсортирован список, может потребоваться прокрутить вниз. Depending on how the list is sorted, you might need to scroll down. Выберите Text, введите Программа просмотра изображений, а затем нажмите клавишу ВВОД. Choose Text, type Picture Viewer, and then choose Enter. Теперь форма должна содержать текст Программа просмотра изображений в заголовке окна. Окно Свойства должно выглядеть так, как показано на снимке экрана ниже. Your form should now have the text Picture Viewer in its title bar, and the Properties window should look similar to the following screenshot.

**Окно* _ _»Свойства» **Properties* _ _window

Свойства можно упорядочить по категориям или в алфавитном порядке. Properties can be ordered by a Categorized or Alphabetical view. Вы можете переключаться между двумя этими представлениями с помощью кнопок в окне Свойства. You can switch between these two views by using the buttons on the Properties window. В этом руководстве свойства легче находить в представлении, в котором свойства представлены в алфавитном порядке. In this tutorial, it’s easier to find properties through the Alphabetical view.

Вернитесь к конструктору Windows Forms. Go back to Windows Forms Designer. Нажмите нижний правый маркер перетаскивания формы, который представляет собой небольшой белый квадрат в нижнем правом углу формы и показан на рисунке ниже. Choose the form’s lower-right drag handle, which is the small white square in the lower-right of the form and appears as follows.

Маркер перетаскивания Drag handle

Перетащите маркер, чтобы изменить размер формы — она должна стать шире и немного выше. Drag the handle to resize the form so the form is wider and a bit taller.

Посмотрите в окно Свойства и обратите внимание, что изменилось значение свойства Size. Look at the Properties window, and notice that the Size property has changed. Свойство Size меняется при каждом изменении формы. The Size property changes each time you resize the form. Перетащите маркер, чтобы форма имела размер около 550, 350 (не обязательно точно такие значения). Такой размер вполне подходит для этого проекта. Try dragging the form’s handle to resize it to a form size of approximately 550, 350 (no need to be exact), which should work well for this project. В качестве альтернативы можно вводить значения непосредственно в свойстве Size и затем нажимать клавишу ВВОД. As an alternative, you can enter the values directly in the Size property and then choose the Enter key.

Запустите приложение еще раз. Run your app again. Помните, что для запуска приложения можно использовать любой из описанных ниже методов. Remember, you can use any of the following methods to run your app.

Нажмите клавишу F5. Choose the F5 key.

В строке меню выберите Отладка > Начать отладку. On the menu bar, choose Debug > Start Debugging.

На панели инструментов нажмите кнопку Начать отладку, которая показана на рисунке ниже. On the toolbar, choose the Start Debugging button, which appears as follows.

**Кнопка «Начать отладку»* _ _на панели инструментов* **Start Debugging* _ _toolbar button*

Как и ранее, интегрированная среда разработки выполняет сборку приложения и запускает его, после чего открывается окно. Just like before, the IDE builds and runs your app, and a window appears.

Перед переходом к следующему шагу остановите приложение, так как интегрированная среда разработки не позволяет изменять выполняющееся приложение. Before going to the next step, stop your app, because the IDE won’t let you change your app while it’s running. Помните, что для остановки приложения можно использовать любой из описанных ниже методов. Remember, you can use any of the following methods to stop your app.

На панели инструментов нажмите кнопку Остановить отладку. On the toolbar, choose the Stop Debugging button.

В строке меню выберите Отладка > Остановить отладку. On the menu bar, choose Debug > Stop Debugging.

На клавиатуре нажмите клавиши SHIFT+F5. Use your keyboard and press Shift+F5.

Нажмите кнопку X в верхнем углу окна Программа просмотра изображений. Choose the X button in the upper corner of the Picture Viewer window.

Атрибуты в элементах управления Windows Forms Attributes in Windows Forms Controls

.NET Framework предоставляет широкий набор атрибутов, которые можно применять к членам пользовательских элементов управления и компонентов. The .NET Framework provides a variety of attributes you can apply to the members of your custom controls and components. Некоторые из этих атрибутов влияют на поведение класса во время выполнения, а другие – на поведение во время разработки. Some of these attributes affect the run-time behavior of a class, and others affect the design-time behavior.

Атрибуты для классов Attributes for Classes

В следующей таблице представлены атрибуты, с помощью которых можно указать поведение пользовательских элементов управления и компонентов во время разработки. The following table shows the attributes you can apply to specify the behavior of your custom controls and components at design time.

Form Class

Definition

Represents a window or dialog box that makes up an application’s user interface.

Examples

The following example creates a new instance of a Form and calls the ShowDialog method to display the form as a dialog box. The example sets the FormBorderStyle, AcceptButton, CancelButton, MinimizeBox, MaximizeBox, and StartPosition properties to change the appearance and functionality of the form to a dialog box. The example also uses the Add method of the form’s Controls collection to add two Button controls. The example uses the HelpButton property to display a help button in the caption bar of the dialog box.

Remarks

A Form is a representation of any window displayed in your application. The Form class can be used to create standard, tool, borderless, and floating windows. You can also use the Form class to create modal windows such as a dialog box. A special kind of form, the multiple-document interface (MDI) form, can contain other forms called MDI child forms. An MDI form is created by setting the IsMdiContainer property to true . MDI child forms are created by setting the MdiParent property to the MDI parent form that will contain the child form.

Using the properties available in the Form class, you can determine the appearance, size, color, and window management features of the window or dialog box you are creating. The Text property allows you to specify the caption of the window in the title bar. The Size and DesktopLocation properties allow you to define the size and position of the window when it is displayed. You can use the ForeColor color property to change the default foreground color of all controls placed on the form. The FormBorderStyle, MinimizeBox, and MaximizeBox properties allow you to control whether the form can be minimized, maximized, or resized at run time.

In addition to properties, you can use the methods of the class to manipulate a form. For example, you can use the ShowDialog method to show a form as a modal dialog box. You can use the SetDesktopLocation method to position the form on the desktop.

The events of the Form class allow you to respond to actions performed on the form. You can use the Activated event to perform operations such as updating the data displayed in the controls of the form when the form is activated.

You can use a form as the starting class in your application by placing a method called Main in the class. In the Main method add code to create and show the form. You will also need to add the STAThread attribute to the Main method in order for the form to run. When the starting form is closed, the application is also closed.

If you set the Enabled property to false before the Form is visible (for example, setting Enabled to false in the Microsoft Visual Studio designer), the minimize, maximize, close, and system buttons remain enabled. If you set Enabled to false after the Form is visible (for example, when the Load event occurs), the buttons are disabled.
