The Basics of VB [Part 2] - SomeWhiteGuy? - 10-14-2011

Don't delete this! I changed this post to part 2 so there is no need in deleting it, it's no longer the same as part 1.

Part 2

Simple Notepad App


Make a new Windows forms application (dont name it My Web Browser ;P, lol):

Very well done, those gifs must take you along time, I know from personal experience.
I may not be making a notepad, but what you show in here will help me a bit with other projects.
