OK. I haven't looked at this part of the framework? What's required to hook it up to a Windows form? Let's make it easy. I want to prohibit specific users from opening a form.

I know there's a toolbar object. I guess I wasn't clear enough here. There are prebuilt toolbars in the VFP frameworks that do things like navigation controls, copy, cut, paste, etc. Anything prebuilt in the .NET framework?

No, I don't think it would be. I can easily do this in VFP too. My point is, its already done in a VFP framework.

Yes, I know about those. But a DateTime picker is not always the best control of choice. Sometimes you just want a textbox. Sometimes you don't want a spinner. Again, my point is, this stuff is done for you by the VFP frameworks.
