Re: Changing properties of form at runtime

VC++Express;
I have a form with one button. This is my code for the button1 click
event.

BackColor=Color::Red; // Red is in the scope Color ? changes
color of Form1
button1->BackColor=Color::White; //changes color of button1
MessageBox::Show("Hello"); //Show is in the scope MessageBox???
button1->Text="BUTTON!"; //straightforward. Same as
(*button1).Text="BUTTON!";
button1->Font=("Arial"); //WRONG

It took me a while to figure some of these out by cribbing from
existing code on the web.
How would I more easily find out how to ,just for example, change the
font of the button text, or any feature of any control?
And I'd like to understand, rather than remember, why the code for
changing the button's text is completely different to that for
changing the button's color.

I'm actually doing quite well, I think, with learning the language,
but I need to make that jump from remembering to really understanding
what I'm doing!

Many thanks

Tony
