1) What are objects and properties? How are they related to each other a. Objects are forms and controls. Forms are the windows and dialog boxes you place on the screen; controls are the elements you place inside a form, such as text boxes, command buttons, and list boxes. Properties tell something about an object, such as its name, color, size, location, or how it will behave. Properties explain the objects. When you refer to a property, you first name the object, then a period, and then name the property.
