How do I: In the Class Name list box, click (Base Class Events)?

I am starting online classes on Visual Studio .NET. I am using a trial
version of VS .NET 2003. One of my first projects says to do the following:

Create Forms

1. If Solution Explorer is not open, on the View menu, click Solution
Explorer.

2. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project name, point to Add,
and then click Add Windows Form.

3. In the Add New Item dialog box, in the Name box, type an appropriate
name for the form, and then click Open.

Add an Event Handler

1. Open the Code Editor for the form for which you want to add an event
handler.

2. In the Class Name list box, click (Base Class Events).

3. Click the drop-down arrow for the Method Name list box to view
events available for the form. Notice that the Event icon to the left of the
event name indicates that it is an event.

4. Click the event to add the event handler.



I was able to do the first step of creating a form, and opened the code
editor.

But where do I find the Class Name list box, so I can click (Base Class
Events)?

In other words, I am stuck at item 2 and beyond...



This is probably right in front of me, but when I tried helpt to search for
either Class Name or Base Class Events, it found 500 answers, none of which
seemed relevant!



Thanks,

Mich
