Hello,
I'm looking into custom drawing for Windows.Forms controls. And I'm
wondering if anybody has any suggestions. I'm using VB.NET and I'm guess I
should either trap the OnPaint handler or catch the WM_PAINT in the WndProc
procedure.

Thanks!

You need to trap WM_NCCALCSIZE to specify the relationship between the
client and non-client portions of the window and then WM_NCPAINT to draw the
border itself. These can be trapped in the WndProc override.
