Now this may seem like a strange control to create. I mean, the RichTextBox can do almost anything you need. The idea for this came when I was making my AIM Custom Client. For those of you that don't know, AOL released an SDK that can access the AIM network, which leads me to my point. The AIM network uses an HTML type formatting. Seemed easy enough at first, since I just needed to convert text. But then came the problems of the tag not being able to show the same size as rtf font size, the AIM ...

I found many people on the UseNet Groups and discussion threads asking for such a control and no one every answered. Well, here's an answer. It's kind of a kludge, but seems to work OK. It has NOT been through our QA cycle yet so use it at your own risk but I think it's pretty solid....

So Microsoft upgraded the basic MenuStrip object. Now you can easily have images with it, woohoo. What they didn't do, is make you able to change colors (and by change colors i mean by gradient colors), and lets face it, if your GUI isn't blue, then why would you have a blue menu? The user might be a little confused. So thats where this comes in, instead of paying for some over-priced control, you can use the ToolstripProfessionalRenderer, and the best part is that I have wrapped everything you ...

Great ideas are timeless. A long time ago in Microsoft Systems Journal Paul DiLascia demonstrated a neat trick to display context-sensitive tooltips floating over pictures. As the user moved the mouse over the picture, the tooltip control updated its text to reflect the name of the pointed figure. How can a tooltip control be smart enough to support a non-rectangular area that, for example, precisely follows the natural shape of a human figure in a painting? Hot spots in images are nothing new, ...
