custom components

i'm contemplating making set of custom components like drop down boxes etc,
to make a UI with a cool look and feel, like Modo (www.luxology.com/modo).
This would be done by inheriting from UserControl right?

Also, would creating a custom control like a text editor (underline spelling
errors, do indents etc, think Word only much less capable) would be done
also be inheriting from UserControl right? And using graphics.DrawString
etc? not sure

cheers

David,

You can as well inherit any other control, what is than easy using that
template from usercontrol.

I hope this helps,

what i meant was, is it best to do this by inheriting from UserControl and
starting from scratch essentially or by
inheriting from, say, the drop down box component and modifying it that way
