Create Custom GUI in C#

Hi all,
Does any one know how to create a custom window like the control
panel of PowerDVD and WinAmp in C#?

If I need to use C++ Library to do this, where should I head to?

Thanks for Concern,

you should consider looking at using the gdi+(graphics
device interface)class . you can basically utilise this
class to modify the appeareance of your forms and
controls.
hope that helps!

Hi,

You can create custom-drawn controls in C#. Inherit from the Control class
and provide your own implementation of the OnPaint event handler as well as
handling of user input.

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear.

Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
