Creating Control tutorials?

[Lars Netzel]

Hello!

I don't really know what the right word is, but if I would to create a
control sort of like a Textbox, what is that called and does anyone have a
good link or know a good way of starting to learn how to do this?

I started looking at a User Control but that did'nt seem like the right
thing, or was it?

What's the differance between User Control and Custom Control?

Regards/
Lars

A user control is quite like a form and can be assembled using the IDE using
drag and drop. It makes a few assumptions that will make your life easier if
you're looking for a form-like way of creating a new control or harder if
you're looking to create a really competent Windows Forms control with all
the bells 'n whistles.

You have much more control over objects that you build by hand and which
derive from Control or ScrollableControl.

The best tutorials to get you started are Shawn Burkes guides which you can
read here...
