VB-DOS and Custom Controls.

[stephane richard]

As the subject says my question is about custom controls.

In the help files provided with VB-DOS Professional they mention that all
custom controls you make should have default properties etc etc....but I
can't see a list of those, and can't find any example. Has anyone here
developped a custom control for VB-DOS pro and would be willing to share the
code with me so that I can learn how to do it? or does anyone have
reference material that would give me the information I need to know? A URL
perhaps? I've been to everything I could find and still to no avail, I'm
still at the same level with the same problem.

thanks all

Stephane,

It's pretty well known that the forms engine in VB-DOS blows chunks. So
you'll do better to develop your own input routines using straight BASIC
code, and avoid the forms feature entirely.

I know this is not the answer you expected, but it's the right answer IMO.

Stephane,

Thank you. Ill start coding :-) <

Have a look at the database.zip file on my personal web site, about 2/3 of
the way down the page on the left:

If you start with this program you'll have less to do.
