I am looking for a custom radiobutton control and a custom checkbox control for my application. The primary feature I am looking for is the ability to manipulate the color of the checkmark within the checkbox and the color of the dot within the radiobutton. Has anyone seen controls like this available? If so, where?
Or, using the standard controls in VS.Net, can the color of the check and dot be manipulated through code somehow?
I thought this was a cool idea so I went ahead and wrote these controls myself. You can download them at: <a href="http://windowsforms.net/downloads/gdn/coloredcheckcontrols.zip">http://windowsforms.net/downloads/gdn/coloredcheckcontrols.zip</a>
Some caveats, I didn't test these with large fonts and I didn't test them with Windows XP visual styles. Also, since I am essentially just painting over the default check after the standard painting, its possible to get the control in a state where the new colored check is painted over the text.
Thank you very much for taking the time to create those controls Mike! You have been a big help. I will check out the code to to see how you were able to do this.
