custom control

[cocol]

You can make a class that somehow inherits System.Windows.Forms.Contol and after compiling it, it'll show at the very top of the VS toolbox

ok but how i can merge 2 controls for example listview with combobox?

 

[JuggaloBrotha]

You will need to start with one of the controls and program in the functionality of the other. EG, Inherit the System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox and add in the multi-column support you want.

Perhaps you mean "User Control"? (Project > Add User Control...) This is a control template where you add one or more controls to it and write the custom behaviour, later you add an instance of your custom user control as a single control to a form.

For a list of properties in any FW control simply check MSDN, it lists all the properties, constructors, methods, etc...
