OK, this is C# code, but the basic concepts are the same:

Basically, you'll want a class library that contains your sub-classed UI controls, like textbox, button, etc. Something like this:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace MyCompany.WinUI.MyClasses
{
	public class MyComboBox : System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
	{
		// code here
	}

	public class MyTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
	{
		// code here
	}

	public class MyButton : System.Windows.Forms.Button
	{
		// code here
	}
}

That's it. These controls can't be sub-classed visually, but as you can see, it's easy enough to do it in code. I have all the basic controls sub-classed in one class library file. Once they're added to the ToolBox, then can be dragged onto any design surface in the IDE.

To add to a ToolBox:

When you have the IDE open in the designer view (not the code view), go to the ToolBox, right-click anywhere and choose the Add/Remove Items (in 2.0, it's "Choose Items..."), click on Browse and find the .DLL where your sub-classed controls are (you obviously needed to have compiled the class library after you created it). That's it ... they'll then be added to your ToolBox.
