I want to make a fully functional Textbox. Are there any good sites or
code snippets that i could work from?. Also i am making it in C#. C# is
notoriously slow so i want to know is it possible to actually make an
efficient textbox control in C# or is it better to just to do it in C++.

James,

Can you describe what is in your opinion a fully functional Textbox.
For me it the one in Net almost the same as notebook.

Do you mean maybe a text editor?
(Where the RichTextbox can be a good start)

James,

Than is in my opinion where you have to start.

Know that it is not easy to go outside the possibilities when you want more
than is given.

I hope this helps,

Cor
