    If you would like any kind of graphic widget (ie Control) under C# let me know and if there's enough interest I'll put something together and publish it on CodeProject. Also, I have a hot zone text box but I'm not sure if it's worth publishing. Let me know if anyone has an interest and I'll put in the effort to publish: 1) auto-calculates word-fit accurately (can be used as a better label control) 2) demonstrates use of DrawText() api and the single-pixel error in MeasureCharacterRanges() GDI+ call 3) demonstrates adding controls at run-time 4) painless and novel creation of unlimited 'hit zones' without using regions etc.. 5) tool tip and full range of control events can be painlessly attached to the hit zones 6) hit zones are stored in database so you can load different hit zones for the same text 7) hit zones can auto highlight the text as the mouse drifts across them. a variety of highlight techniques are supported, requiring minimal amounts of code 8) a custom Collection is used which demonstrates the flexibility of the Interface paradigm. in particular I have an index interface which allows editing of the underlying collection elements (including add and delete without regenerating the index) The effort in putting up an article is quite considerable, so I'm only up for this if someone is interested in this kind of stuff.... Only change is constant

      I'd like to see it. Don't really have a use for it at this time, but it sounds educational. And who knows? You might find that by posting an article about it, you get lots of useful hints and bug fixes. :)

            "quality code", publish it. :cool: what I've been looking for a long time, but never got around fiddling with: A nice tool to enter a (float) number. Spins are a pain... What I imagine: a drop arrow right beside the number (much like with a combo box) opening a horizontal or vertical slider. additional features would be: * "magnetic tics" besides the slider (at application defined positions). Mouse over would show a tooltip with the value, clicking would set the slider to this value. * superb mouse handling. If I "press&drag", mouse should jump on the slider bar (so that the first minimal movement does not make a big jump for the value), and releasing mouse button would close the slider window. if I click&release on the dropdownthingie, I can do the usual clicking (a mouse over with the value of the click position would be nice in this case). Oh, and I sometimes need the slider to be logarithmoc, too :-D

                Go for it. I wouldnt have had my latest article if it wasnt for James. I felt it was a bit unfinished (i still feel that way), but the article does not need to be long, just a couple of code pointers (not code please, I hate this endless listings in articles, sourcecode ZIP is for that :)) for the list that you already made. Hell, I'll finish it for you :)

                  Well, CodeProject has seen a flood of new articles in the past few month. Of course it's like bradbury said: you have to write a lot of crap to make a gem.
