Hi Yep, started doing a few google searches and I have come up with a few links, so hopefully I am on my way with it now. Thanks for the help, and if I get it sorted I will post the control as an article.

OK. I am being a bit slow with this. So could you point me in the right direction to achieve this please. If I get it sorted I will post the dialog as an article.

Hi, Yes I can do this. What I want to achieve, is see the form like the current colordialog in the toolbox to the side of the design window.

I'm not sure whether this can be achieved, but here goes. I have created a new color dialog for a simple html editor. I would like to packeage the form into a dll, so that when added to a project, the dialog appears in the toolbox. I am using C# express 2005. I can achieve this when creating a normal control but I am stumped when it comes to having a form in the dll instead. If anyone has any ideas as to how to achieve this, or even a small demo, I would be truly grateful.

Add these 3 lines to your form constructor // Enable Double Buffering to remove flicker this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true); Hope this helps Publicjoe C# Tutorial at http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/tut.html C# Ebook at http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/samples/ebook.html VB Tutorial at http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/vbnet/vbnet.html VB Ebook at http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/vbnet/samples/ebook.html Mirrors at http://dowhileloop.com/publicjoe/ and http://publicjoe.dowhileloop.com
