help needed to create custom control which can arrange controls in polygonal shape

Hi All,
I am new to component development.
I want to create custom control to arrange contained controls in form of
polygonal shape.
The objects are placed in separate panel on the some form.
At one place collection of controls representing objects is present.
User should be able to click on respective control that time cursor should
change.
And whenever mouse comes in this control area locations where control can be
placed should get highlighted.

Those should be dragged and arranged in form required polygonal shape.
This is to show user how many euipments are present in factory.
On clicking any of this any of the control details of particular equipement
are displayed.
Intially there should be four rectangular images placed in form of rhombus,
and then when one more such object is dragged to the control display area,
all 5 objects should be rearranged in form of pentagon.When one more object
added they should look like hexagon.
Can you please suggest me any links where I can get infromation about
creating such custom control or what steps should be taken to implement
above functionality?

My main doubt is how to calculate position to places those controls?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shailaja

Hi, I was wondering if any could point me to an example or give me ideas on how to dynamically create a form based on a database table? So, I would have a table designed to tell my application to create certain textboxes, labels, and combo boxes? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I am using C# 2.0 (VS2005) to build my user control that contains a number of dynamically loaded ListViews. ListViewItems have their ForeColor properties set to either black or blue to distinguish between ListViewItems. As long as no other application window (i.e. word or calculator, or ....) goes over my running form, ForeColor properties or each ListViewItem stays black or blue as intended.

Hi, I've started work on my own control some parts of which use standard controls, others I need to draw on my controls surface to get the display output I require, however.... I seem to be stupid or missing the point. I used DrawString( ) as a simple test but I cannot get it to work at all unless I handle my custom controls Paint event.

Hi Moondaddy, I downloaded your sample project and run it and did see the problem on my side. There're three problems in the source code of your project. 1. You should move the following lines of code from the GetGeometry method within the CustomPolyLine class: _points.Add(new Point(10, 10));
