New Article (Series) - Walkthrough: Developing Owner Drawn User Controls - Part 1 (TransPanel)

Part one of a collection of walk through articles that details the creation of several user controls that follow a theme.  The theme being semi-transparent controls that allow you to set the opacity level (similar in look to Windows Media Center Edition).  However, instead of just showing the how to create the component, I hope to show the actual process of creating user controls from scratch which also includes the trial and errors occurring along the way and possible design changes during their evolution.

I’m not really sure how many parts this series will be, for now I’m planning on four.

The first article in the series can be found here.

For a preview of some of the other controls that will be developed during these articles, check out these screen shots.
