>If you want to add your textbox to the toolbar, then you need to create a separate project to hold your sub-classed controls. That way you can point the toolbar to the DLL that contains these sub-classes. Then you can drag and drop the control onto your form.

>The other option is to change the code-behind for your form to point to the sub-classed textbox instead of the base one. You would need to do a search and replace for any reference to the base textbox and replace it with you sub-classed reference. Make sure you save the code-behind file before switching to the design tab of your form. If not then your control may not show up properly.
