3. From the Project menu, select Components, check Microsoft Hierarchical FlexGrid Control 6.0 (SP3) (MSHFLXGD.OCX), and click OK.
4. Add a CommandButton (Command1) to both Form1 and Form2. Place four MSHflexgrid controls on Form2.
5. Add the following code to Form1:

   Private Sub Command1_Click()
       Form2.Show
   End Sub
   Private Sub Form_Load()
       Command1.Caption = "Show Form2"
   End Sub

   End Sub
   					

7. Press the F5 key to run the project.
8. Start Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE), and select the Processes tab.
9. Under the View menu, click on Select Columns, and choose GDI Objects.
