In the second article of this series, I briefly described how the JScript .NET and the .NET Framework allow JScript developers to create Windows-style applications using Windows Forms. Windows Forms is a part of the .NET Framework that enables developers to take advantage of Windows' graphical interface capabilities.

A Windows Form represents a traditional graphical interface through which users interact with your application. Windows Forms offers a cohesive programming model that makes it easy to build forms that have rich capabilities and a high degree of interactivity. This article walks you through a sample application written in JScript .NET that implements a Windows Forms application that features and uses these types of controls: * Main menu * Context menu * Tab strip control * Tree View control * Checked List Box control * Drop Down menu * Progress bar * Picture box control * Timer * Month calendar control

Figure 1 shows the completed application featured in this article.

Your job is to add controls and customize the behavior of the form for your application. The Windows Forms package primarily resides in the System.Windows.Forms namespace; however, you'll also require access to members of the System.Drawing namespace, which supports accurate the Windows Forms package by allowing you to accurately specify control placement and size...
