User Controls - Property Pages and Region

[M West]

hello,

1. I am trying to write a control that inherits from a Windows control, does
anyone know how to write property pages for a control (similar to the way
you would do it in VB6) as i cannot find any examples

e.g. wrote a property called maskcolour and want the user to choose the RGB
setup, ideally when the user clicks on the property it would display a
property page with three slider controls to allow the user to choose the
particular colour value, otherwise i will have to set the property to string
and the user manally enters the value ??

2. does anyone know of a control that supports the region property, i know
form does but you cannot place a form on top of another form as a control,
again cannot find region property, form region property is used when using
transparency such as designing skins for media player etc, must be a control
that can be inherited which will also follow the same procedure.

thanks in advance Mark
