Creating the Customer Details Form

Create the user interface for the Customer_details form.

1. Add another Windows Form to the project, and name this one Customer_details.
2. From the Toolbox, drag and drop three labels onto the Customer_details form.
3. Align the labels on the left side of the form.
   In the Properties view, in the Text field, rename the labels First Name, Last Name, and City.
4. From the Toolbox, drag and drop three text boxes onto the Customer_details form and align them to the right of each of the three labels.
5. Set the properties for each text box.
   • For First Name, use tbFName.
   • For Last Name, use tbLName.
   • For City, use tbCity.

   
   
   
6. From the Toolbox, drag and drop two buttons from Common Device Controls to the Customer_details form below the labels and text boxes.
   1. In the Properties view, in the Text field, rename the button on the left to Cancel.
   2. In the Properties view, in the Text field, rename the button on the right to Submit.
   The form looks like this:

   {
       public partial class Customer_details : Form
       {
   
           Customer thisCustomer;
           public Customer_details()
           {
               InitializeComponent();
           }
   
           //Click event for Cancel button in Customer_detail screen
           private void Cancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
           {
               Program.getForm1().Visible = true;
               Program.getForm2().Visible = false;
   
           }
   
           //Click event for Submit button in Customer_detail screen
           private void Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
           {
               thisCustomer.Fname = tbFName.Text;
               thisCustomer.Lname = tbLName.Text;
               thisCustomer.City = tbCity.Text;
               thisCustomer.Save();
               Program.getForm1().Visible = true;
               Program.getForm2().Visible = false;
   
           }
           private void AddDataToForm()
           {
               int id = Int32.Parse(Program.getCustomer());
   
               //Retrieves data from the local database.
               thisCustomer = Customer.FindByPrimaryKey(id);
               tbFName.Text = thisCustomer.Fname;
               tbLName.Text = thisCustomer.Lname;
               tbCity.Text = thisCustomer.City;
           }
   
           //Load method event for Customer_detail
           private void Customer_Details_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
           {
               AddDataToForm();
           }
   
           //paint method event for Customer_detail
           private void Customer_Details_paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
           {
