> Thanks. I was able to do all this but it raised a few questions:
1. How do I add an instance of my custom control to a form? I tried to just
instantiate a NEW instance of it passing the formname as the parent
parameter but it didn't appear on the form. So then I used the Show method
and set the X and Y properties but still couldn't get it to show up.
2. How do I define custom parameters for the _new method? I've managed to
define the method using my own parameter but not sure what order to pass
them in when I instantiate (i.e. do I pass the parent parameters then the
custom ones or vice versa)?

thanks again
