In this book you’ll learn about existing Windows Forms control base classes and how to use these base classes as a starting point for creating your own custom controls. Topics, such as which base class to derive from, GDI+, working with images, and handling raw windows messages, are covered to ensure maximum flexibility when creating custom controls. In addition to building controls, you learn how to provide designers for controls and how to interact with Visual Studio .NET. These designers allow for RAD-style development support within Visual Studio .NET and they are crucial for developing top quality custom controls.

The process of writing controls covers more than simply drawing on the screen. This book will show what you need to know about custom property editors, creating custom collections, understanding the PropertyGrid and all aspects of design-time support within Visual Studio .NET. In addition, it explores control licensing for both simple and custom solutions.

# Develop controls not found in the standard set of Windows common controls
# Learn to create stunning, modern UI controls
# Customize the functionality of a common control
# Utilize the .NET base class control libraries
# Explore control designers and services
# Differentiate between design-time and runtime behavior
