Custom .NET control icon

[--== Alain ==--]

Hi,

How can i custom the icon (shown on ToolBox Palette) of my Custom Visual
C++.NET control ?

Moreover, if i want to place my custom control on a particular TAB, how
can i do that ?

thanks a lot,

Al.

[ToolboxBitmap(ARListViewControl::typeid, "ARListView2.bmp")]
public ref class ARListViewControl : public
System::Windows::Forms::UserControl

....
};

The version where you specify the typeid is if you put the attribute on the
assembly (you can then assign an icon to a class you didn't write). If you
put the attribute directly on the UserControl, use the other
ToolboxBitmapAttribute constructor.

As for which TAB it's on, try CategoryAttribute .
