The USA Program

1.	Create an application that sorts the states of the United States into Alphabetical order. Prepare a TOE Chart before beginning to build the interface.
	.
2.	Create a new application and name the project states.
2.1	The name of the form should be frmstates.
2.2	Change the Text property to “States”.
2.3	Set the WindowState property to Maximized.
2.4	Assign the filename states.vb to the form file object.
2.5	Set the project’s startup form to frmstates.
	.
3.	In the center of the top of the form, create a label named lbltitle and change the text property to The United States of America.
3.1	Create a graphic to hold an icon on the form. Use Google to locate a suitable image, e.g. the American flag.
	.
4.	Create vertical labels for the states.
4.1	These labels need to long enough to hold 17 states.
4.2	The label boxes should be called lblstates, lblstates18, and lblstates35.
4.3	Set the Font property so it is small enough to fill the label boxes you drew.
	.
5.	Create buttons named btnasc, btndesc and btnexit.
5.1	In the btnasc button, use the array.sort function and, using three for loops, place the states into the labels. Be sure to first clear the Text property for lblstates, lblstates18, and lblstates35.
5.2	In the btndesc button, use the array.sort and array.reverse functions and, using three for loops, place the states into the labels. Be sure to first clear the Text property for lblstates, lblstates18, and lblstates35.
5.3	The Exit button should end the application.
5.4	The fifty states are: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Conneticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachussetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming

6.	Click anywhere on the form and set the focus to the btnmake button.
7.	Save the solution, then start and test the application. Make sure you test different values. Close the application.
