Removing controls from a form

[colin9876]

So I design a form1 with a Timer, a textbox and a couple of buttons

Then I want to remove, say one of the buttons, how do I do it.

I know theres an option for deleting the whole form, but when I highlight one of the controls I dont seem to be able to remove it?

Using the designer you can right click and choose Delete Control.
On the device choose Tools - Delete Control.

Thanks - I dont know why I didnt notice that - Im getting so dumb in my old age. Cheers for pointing that out

One more question, are Textboxes for displaying info AND inputing info?
For example if I want to get someones name is the Textbox the best control to use?
And if I want to print out a value say, is a Textbox the best control to use?

Last time I did any basic programming it was INPUT A$, PRINT A$ on the ZX81 !! - wondered if Textboxes are the equivalent of both??

Yes, you should use a textbox to get an input from the user, and you could also use it to show some information.
You could also use Labels to show text.
