Other Basic Controls

The previous two chapters covered many basic controls, such as labels, buttons, and other text controls. Subsequent chapters will cover several more specialized controls, such as list and tree controls and date and time controls.

This chapter covers many of the other basic controls commonly used as part of Windows Forms applications, including:

• Containers such as the Panel and the GroupBox controls
• Tabbed pages
• The PictureBox control
• Scrollbars, the TrackBar control, and the ProgressBar control
• Up-down controls, both numeric and object

The class hierarchy for all controls covered in this chapter is shown in Figure 13-1. You can refer to this figure as you read about each control.
