Reuse Outlook Controls from .NET app?

[arshrp]

I have a textbox that I want to behave similarly to the "To" field
textbox in Microsoft Outlook. The specific behaviour I'm after is the
ability to make some text "keep together" like Outlook does with an
inserted contact. For instance you can't type in the middle of a
contact and when the cursor is in front of it and you hit delete, it
deletes all the text for that contact.

I hope I've made sense. Does anyone know a way I can re-use that
functionality from Outlook in my own .NET app? Or maybe you've seen a
third party control that behaves similarly?

Thanks for any info you can provide,

Andrew

If you are programming a custom Outlook form you can use some of the
Outlook controls such as To. For a .NET application you would have to
use controls that came with Visual Studio or those you purchase from
3rd party vendors such as ComponentOne.
