Re: Windows forms and controls

Wow, this forum really works. Thanks for replying.

What I mean by blocking out is that the control is working
fine(it is a clock) which I added to one of the panels,
but all my other panels (which have textboxes, etc.) are
not usuable. The text in the text boxes are the lighter
grey to what they are normally (ie black).

It may have something to do with focus or paint. The
control was created using the windows control library
option which gave me a .cs file in the solution explorer.
Later I added the dll to my toolbox and then added it to
the panel.

I overrided the paint of the control in the control class
to do all the clock work.
