[Polite]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a theme library file from Themebase and a sample theme (say, flowtheme). In that way, I need not to add the files everytime and simply inserting the dll into the toolbox will make it available for all projects.

I tried to create as custom control library (.dll) but when I'm trying to load the dll in toolbox, it says, "There are no components that can be placed in the toolbox".

How can I achieve that as dll file?

class Theme : ContainerControl
class Control : Control

[Polite]

class Theme : ContainerControl
class Control : Control

Thanks, but I've build with

Code

class FlowThem: ThemeContainer
class ThemeContainer: ContainerControl

And it compiles without any error.

As per your suggestion,
I tried
class ThemeContainer: Control

this end up in error ParentForm.

If I change like
class FlowTheme: Control

this gives Error'FlowTheme.ColorHook()': no suitable method found to override

Thus I believe my previous settings are fine.

Same result. "No components that can be placed in toolbox"

u need to drag the dll too the control box or right click on the control box and choose item

It's no difference then loading my other custom libraries. i.e I've a library to change Groupbox border and I loaded into toolbox using the same way. So I don't think it's a problem.
