Custom Control Lib VB Std Edition
-
:confused:I want to create a custom form control library but the documentation says the Class Library template is not available in the std edition of VB. Can I Use the New Class or New Module to create these controls and just include the class/module in my project? If yes, Can I add the control to the Forms Designer Toolbox? Ricks

The Template your looking for is the Windows Control Library Template. Your right, this template doesn't come with the Standard Edition compiler. You COULD write the code out by hand, but the problem is the Standard Edition compiler won't compile into a .DLL. You can check this by starting a project and clicking on Properties on the Project menu (all the way at the bottom.) Make sure your looking at the General tab on the left, and click on the Output Type dropdown list. If Class Library is not listed, you can't compile controls at all. RageInTheMachine9532
