Performing the Message Box and Form Tests
It’s finally time to test the message boxes and forms you’ve created. The code in this section performs 
a few simple tests and demonstrates how to obtain output from the message boxes and forms you’ve 
created. You can use this code as a starting point for more complex processing in your own applica-
tion. Listing 16-4 shows the test code for this application.
