I need several custom controls, the first one needs to allow text entry and have some buttoms attached to it (or drop down menu) that allows different functions to be used.

I suppose more detail would belp, but that will complicate the question, so for now, how do I create a custom control with text entry and a menu strip and custom functions on the menu strip?

Kind Regards

Richard

Just start a UserControl project in Visual Studio. It will provide everything you need to start.

I must be dim - this seems to give a small form and every thing else looks the same. I cant design my personal control as i still have the tool box with standard windowm controls on.

Check this article for a description of the process: Shameless Self-promotion[^]. After you've tried a few things yourself and run into a block, post again with the code that's causing you trouble and we can provide better assistance.
