As a programmer for 6/7 years, I have a moderate level of understanding programming languages, but most notably, I started learning how to become a programmer with Visual Basic 6 (VB6), creating a 'fake' baseline template application with 3 tabs, to demonstrate a few ideas (given your description for this project).
I would request a full software brief, about which 'fake' features you would wish for in the project (should you choose me to complete this contract).
My method for completing this project (top-level), are that of initiating the creation of tabs for this project, before adding in the required functionality for demonstration purposes (as is your intention, such as combo-boxes, tick-boxes/check-boxes, radio-buttons, static-lists, dynamic-lists, progress indicators etc.).
Please contact me to discuss the necessary details for this project (such as providing me with a software specification).
