Custom Textbox Control

[Ryan Joseph So]

Hi,

I've been searching the web for custom textbox control that doesn't
inherit from Windows textbox control but cannot find one. I've been
trying to make my own custom textbox but I just dont know how to do it.
Can anyone out there help me out how to make one. Just a simple textbox
so i could understand how to make it. This is my first time to make
custom control so i still have much to learn.

Thanks.

depending on what you wan't you start with deriving a textbox from the
standard .NET control and modify it to your needs.

Are you sure you want to reinvent everything the standard textbox is and
does?
You refer to "just a simple textbox". It's only simple as viewed through its
interface.
I'd suggest starting your custom control experience by employing
inheritance.

Hi,

I actually already done this inhireting from Windows Textbox but there's
just things you can't do when you only inhiret it like overriding the
borderstyle of your textbox and many more. Thanks anyway.
