[2008] How to use a class that inherits RichTextBox?

[kaisellgren]

Hi,

I have a class that inherits RichTextBox and has more functionality. However, instead of creating typical RichTextBox, I want to create this new extended RTB class and show it on the form and let user to use it.

The following does not show anything to me:

Dim SRTB As New SecondRTB
SRTB.Width = 320
SRTB.Height = 320
SRTB.Enabled = True
SRTB.Visible = True
SRTB.Show()

you need to post ALL your code. As far as we know, you aren't inheriting it properly.

Is this a user control you are talking about?

Try (re)building your solution first, you will the find the control in the toolbox.
