Viv,

Just want to say thanks again. I simply started with a new Empty Project, added class code (i.e. class mytextbox : textbox, etc...) and my own properties -- compiled to DLL -- then I added the DLL to the Toolbar as you described in another thread and it took no problem. My controls are now on my Toolbar--easy as pie!

I can't believe how confusing the documentation and these books have made such a simple task of getting subclassed Form Controls onto the Visual Design Interface! Again, much appreciated.
