I am making a simple non-visual component and I can load that into the
toolbox such that the test WinForm application can drop it into the form.
The default icon for this component is a "gear" when I added that to the
toolbox. How can I change it to the icon of my choice and how can I create
a tab in the toolbox and call it "My Component" to hold my components.

Thanks in advance,

Frankk

Just make the 16x16x16 bmp name the same as control and embed it in the
resource an then ->

[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(aname))]
public class aname : System.ComponentModel.Component
