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 custom 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.
