To type on a VB form, you can use the TextBox control. The TextBox control is a type of control used to receive and display text, allowing users to type on it either by keyboard input or directly setting the text.

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to type on a VB form.

  1. Add a TextBox control to a VB form, which can be added to the form through drag-and-drop.
  2. In the windows form code, you can use the TextBox’s Text property to set or retrieve the text content.

Here is an example code that will print “Hello World!” on a TextBox control when a button is clicked.

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    TextBox1.Text = "Hello World!"
End Sub

In the above example, the Button1_Click event handler types “Hello World!” onto the TextBox control by setting the Text property of TextBox1.

Note: If you want to input text through the keyboard, users can directly type text on the TextBox control. Using the Text property of the TextBox control can retrieve the text input by the user.
