Simulating MS Word

Hi,

I need to simulate the Microsoft Word product functionality in my windows
applications.

Short of developing user controls for each office component like
toolbar/dialogboxes etc., what could be my best bet to come really close to
the look and feel of an office application like MS Word? This has to be
independant of office products.

In case user controls are the best way to go, any pointers in this regard
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
regards

If you are talking about UI controls that have the look and feel of Office
XP or 2003, then there are loads of commercial components suites that offer
you just that. Have a look on Google. For example:

http://www.dacris.com/netxp/Showcase/Bars.aspx (free for use in freeware
applications)

http://www.divil.co.uk/net/ (also free for use in freeware applications)

http://www.dotnetmagic.com/ (not free but you get the source code)

and there are plenty more...
