You can make a control that just has a button on it with no GDI calls.
(Just create a new control project, drag & drop a button onto it)
To do graphing itself may be a bit of work. In general, you'll find
that graphics isn't too bad with GDI+ (System.Drawing namespace). But
it depends on how many different graphs, styles, and all of that you
want to support. Trying to recreate all of the Excel graphing
functionality would be a lot of work, obviously.
There are graphing components out there already (google: c# graph).

Hi,
Is it hard to make a .net control? You know, like say a graphing
component. Do you have to use lots of primitive graphic calls to the GDI in
order to make the control or is there some easier way.
Thanks everyone
Simon
