What I want to do is create a custom designer for a file type that I have
created for my add-in. Ultimately the file is a text file, but I want to
give my users some GUI so they don't have to try and get the formatting
right.

I want to make a simulacrum of say, the HTML/XML editor in which is could
have a text side (colored or uncolored) and a design side, where I render
the design based on GDI and the text.

Where do I begin?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Maybe to clarify, if you think of Rational Rose when you open some UML, you
get a yellow editor in which you can design your UML and it interacts with
the project.

Maybe that didn't clarify at all.
