creating custom objects 2

[Alvo von Cossel I]

hi,

i asked this question before and got a link to a website that didnt help me.
my question was, how do i create a custom control (e.g. a round button or a
toolbar that you can drag and drop in the middle of a window (like microsoft
office toolbars)? the only thing i know so far is create a class and include
some code like

public class name : UserControl

but thats all i know and i need a little bit more code to get me started.

can someone help me?

If you want create round button try start with:
public class name : Button
and override the OnPaint method.
You have also create rounded region and attach it to your control.

Creating toolbars (like MSO) isn't easy (I cannot do that).

Hm, that's difficult to explain, you know :-) You would probably derive
the round button from a Control, not a UserControl - these decisions are
documented in MSDN, like here: http://shrinkster.com/7ou and here:
http://shrinkster.com/7ov . There's also a sample here:

Apart from this stuff, why don't you go to www.codeproject.com and read
some of the articles there? There are many that explain how to create your
own controls, and they come with source code you can download and take a
look at. I'd think that this is the best way to get you started.
