Forms are the windows that you build your programs on. Think of a form as a single web page page. You can link to different forms, hide them, show them, minimize them, maximize them, normalize them, change there size etc.

There are several ways to hide/close a form here are some in the greyed areas:

Form1.Visible = False

Putting this code in a button will hide form1, when the button is clicked.
(By entering Form1.Visible = True you can show it again!)

Form1.Hide

Putting this code in a button will hide form1, when the button is clicked.
(By entering Form1.Show you can show it again!)

Call Unload(Form1)

Putting this code in a button will close form1, when the button is clicked.
(You can show the form by using the Form1.Show)

Unload() function unloads the object that you tell it to,
it is used to reduce the amount of bytes the program is using

The active form can be refered to as "Me"

So instead of saying Form1.Show, You can say Me.Show
