I doubt that you can do this

[active]

I want to make my own picture box which is the VB picture box plus things
like scrollbars.

I'd like to inherit the VB picturebox but need to add additional controls to
my picturebox.

I don't imagine there is any way I can automatically have all the VB
picturebox properties be also my picturebox properties. Which is what
inheritance would give me.

Is there anything close?
Thanks

If you make a new class that inherits from the picture box class, why
wouldn't you have all the properties of a picture box?

The easiest way to do inherit from
'System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl' and extend it with the
functionality of a picturebox.

If I inherit how can I add scrollbars?
Is there a way to do that?

I already have the code to add and use the scrollbars.. Would there be a big
advantage to using ScrollableControl over using Control and Scrollbars (I
assume there is still a scrollbar control.)

Not so easy, because 'PictureBox' doesn't inherit from
'ScrollableControl' and multiple inheritance is not supported by .NET.

Where do you use the scrollbars? Did you add them to the picturebox?

That will work too, but why not inherit from 'ScrollableControl' and
add a picturebox?

Just pointing out, you can set the AutoScroll property of any control
container to True and it will automatically show scrollbars if any controls
are outside the visible boundaries of the container. Maybe you could use
that instead?
