Ever create a control from scratch?
I'm creating a Text Box control in cpp from scratch (IE: without subclassing). I must say it's quite amazing how much work the common controls do for you. If you have never done this before, you should, just to get an appreciation for the common controls that come with vb and c.

I at one time created a control that literally took control of my computer. :eek:
Bad memories. :(

That would be the infamous "Folder Flooder" incident of 2005. :lol:
Yes, I created an XP Explorer bar in VB.NET but only got about 75% of the way done. It needs to be rewritten to fix a serialization issue and link to the current active theme instead of always using the default blue one. Learned alot from undertaking such project when I was still learning the basics of .NET.

I made a control once that displayed text on what immitated a greenbar printout.

Learn Assembly language then you'll really understand how little you know about computers.
Re: Ever create a control from scratch?
I think I know someone who wrote a book about controls.

Beats out CodeProject and Microsoft.

I do know assembly language. I think I wrote a post here a long time ago about how to use assembly with visual basic. IE: Create assembly functions that are able to take visual basic data types and return them.
However I've never sat down and fully appreciated how much work a control such as the rich edit or textbox control does for you. I've always just subclassed one of those controls if I needed to do something extra.
