You can change the form text to ' your name's calculator'. Click on the form and then go to properties window, then change the text property. You also need to disable the maximize control of the form. That's because you don't want the user to maximize the calculator. Go to the properties window, and change the maximize box property to False: You also need to change the FormBorderStyle property to Fixed3D Add a button to the form and place on top of the form: You might be surprised of this button because we should have placed a textbox instead. Well, this is the cool thing about Visual Basic, you can use a button to display text and results. Now we have to change the button properties to look like a text box.
