Hello I'm trying to create a usercontrol which will have features like of a tabstrip, but I just want to extend it by adding more features. I will be drawing my own custom colored tabs on it which will respond to mouse clicks and hovers.
The problem I'm running into is how to create a container in my usercontrol. I want the user be able to draw vb controls during design time inside my tab control. My tab control should have a body (like a panel) in which user would put his controls, and there should a 'Dock in Parent Control' facility in it too.. eg. the user's controls should be able to spread out all over my container control. Obviously since my usercontrol is similar to tabstrip, therefore it will be having lots of containers in it depending on the number of tabs it has. I've no idea how to perform this in VB.NET. Any ideas folks?
