copied!<p>Well, at the beginning you should have in mind, that the implementation of new text box control is kinda complicate thing. It is necessary that you consider the following points:</p> <p>1) What should your textbox do? How can the user interact with it? Which events do you necessarely throw? 2) How should you textbox be drawn? Is it a simple box with an outline or do you have elements which are different if the user gets interacted.</p> <p>A good starting point for implementing your own textbox is to look how it works under the hood - in fact, you should start by referencing to samples which came from the DirectX and DirectDrawing area, one example is the following link (the sample is for c++, but the concepts are the same as used in windowsforms or wpf drawing):</p> <p><a href="http://www.uc-forum.com/forum/d3d-tutorials-and-source/65377-make-textbox-ingame-console-directx.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.uc-forum.com/forum/d3d-tutorials-and-source/65377-make-textbox-ingame-console-directx.html</a></p> <p>a more direct sample (explaining howto extend an existing textbox) can be found here: <a href="http://www.codedblog.com/2007/09/17/owner-drawing-a-windowsforms-textbox/" rel="nofollow">http://www.codedblog.com/2007/09/17/owner-drawing-a-windowsforms-textbox/</a></p> <p>All in all, to achieve your goal try to extend the basic text box at the beginning and afterwards start with a component which is not that complicated, for example a simple checkbox. Go on and at the end you will be able to implement your own textbox control ;)</p>
