Books about forms and controls

I'm at university and have a course on Visual Basic. I have two books:
Visual Basic 2005 by Willis (WROX)
Visual Basic 2005: The Language by Balena (Microsoft publishing)
Yet in neither of these books are there any mention of the visual
coding aspects, forms, visual inheritance, controls and so on. Where
can I learn about these things?
To give you an idea of what I need to figure out, I have to design a
form with two hidden areas that are clickable (you should not be able
to tab to them), several buttons that bring up different screens, sound

and a map with clickable hotspots.
Thanks.

Have toyu looked at the Microsoft quickstart for winforms. It covers
aspects of what your seeking.
