Also check out gb.form and gb.gui.base source, there are many custom
UserControls in there you can use as examples.

"some open questions"  lol , probably a million questions, I know I did.
Mostly the answers you need can be found by examining similar ready made
controls.

Hmmm, As for PictureBox cannot have focus the wiki says otherwise. (not
that i dissagree with Ben)
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/picturebox shows it has .HasFocus
.SetFocus _GotFocus() , _LostFocus()

okay i did some tests..
pressing tab in gui does not give it focus.

Using PictureBox1.SetFocus() "does" give it focus. (not visibly but the
GotFocus event triggers.
It seems a picturebox cannot get focus but it should as all the focus
related properties and events of UserControl are there.

Seems a bit misleading. Is there a way to hide the focus related parts of
picturebox on the wiki?
