Creating larger controls

[K Shaffer]

I am in need of creating a custom control. What I need is to be able to create a listbox that is larger than the default, for use in a touch screen application. The easiest way to create custom controls is to override the base class of the control you want to create. I see several limitations of applying the mentioned technique for my control, seeing how I must overide the entire rendering and input capture of the entire control. Can I use the described technique or do I just need to create a new control from scratch? Kevin

You don't have to redo the entire control, just the drawing part. The ListBox class exposes properties and events that you supply the code for to custom draw the listbox. Check this[^] out for an example. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
