Visual Basic: Digital Clocks

Recently in class, we used Visual Basic to create our own Digital Clocks. They operated on one second intervals as according to our system/computer clocks. With this program, we added new features that we learned about. First of all, we added menu controls, such as the "File" and "View" menus that you are all familiar with. We also added an "About Digital Clock" form accessible through our "Help" menu. The about form showed a version number, company name, registration information, and a copyright warning. This is the usual stuff that is found in almost all "About" forms of any program. Check your browser and click Help>About [Program]. That's what the "About" form looks like. We also learned to remove the minimize and maximize command buttons. These are the line and square buttons found on the top right corner of the window beside the "X" (close).
