Seasons
We will end the lesson on code by writing a program that displays a picture and information about each season. Start a new windows application named Seasons. Right click on each picture and save it to your computer: 
Build the form as shown below:
- Add a label
and name it LblMessage. - Add four buttons
named BtnSpring, BtnSummer, BtnFall, and BtnWinter. Set the text and BackgroundColor as shown in the illustration. - Add four picture boxes
named PicSpring, PicSummer, PicFall, and PicWinter. - Select the background image for each one using the appropriate picture. Set autosize to true to make the picture exactly fit.
- Place all of the picture boxes on top of each other so that they will appear in the same spot.
Double-Click on BtnSpring to open the code view window. Write the code as shown below:
Private Sub BtnSpring_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnSpring.Click
Me.BackColor = sender.backcolor
Me.PicSpring.Visible = True
Me.PicSummer.Visible = False
Me.PicFall.Visible = False
Me.PicWinter.Visible = False
Me.LblMessage.Text = "Spring: The snow melts and flowers bloom."
End Sub 'BtnSpring_Click
Finish the program by copying the code and pasting it for each button, then modify.
