Common Forms

Common forms can be a real asset to an application. The Common Dialog control is a classic example of a common form. A progress form, About Box, and Message Box are just some of the common forms you can create. Common forms will give your applications a more standard appearance, and again you will not end up with many implementations of the same functionality. A common application MDI form should not be overlooked either. Having such a form will allow you to pre-create the standard menus, such as File, Edit, Window, and Help. Again, this is the type of code that is a bit of a chore to write for each different application.
