creating wizards for own controls/forms

[Neil Robbins]

I have been wondering recently how I would go about creating a control that
when selected from the toolbox for use in an application either autoran a
wizard for providing it with properties or provided for the selection of an
option from the properties window that would run a wizard. I suppose what I
envisage would be similar to the AutoFormat option in the Properties menu
for the DataGrid Control.

Also how could one create something similar to the Data Form Wizard.

Any information or directions to sources of information would be very
helpful. So far I havn't been able to find anything that deals with these
problems.

I originally tried posting this query on the dotnet.languages.vb.controls
newsgroup but had no response.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Neil,

I do not see the sence of that, you never know if there is tomorrow one who
makes a much better one than you because they are shorter on the tools.

But if I would do this, I would start with creating a lot of my own
usercontrols.

Just a thought,

Cor
