Hi,

I'm kind of new to Visual Basic 6 and trying to learn its ways.
Having quite some experience with Visual FoxPro, I imagined that Visual Basic would be pretty much of the same with a different syntax, however, I have the following problem:

I want to create a custom control (a custom class), like a textbox, but when I add a class it seems to be reserved for functions only, thus no visual components possible. I thought the UserControl approach was the answer but I have no idea how I can instantiate it in code, besides that all the documents I read about it insinuate the UserControl is some kind of ActiveX base only.
In Visual FoxPro this is as easy as 1+1, so I refuse to believe that the same action demands so much work(around) in an older language as Visual Basic.

Could anyone out there give me a hint on how I can accomplish this???


Thanks in advance.
