Creating a Custom Control

[Satal Keto]

What I want to do is create a control (I believe that is the right teminology, I mean something like a textbox/combobox/listbox) which I can make up from different premade controls.
The reason I want to make a control is as alot of applications that I make have similarities for example address boxes (which I make up of 6 text boxes, a groupbox and then VBA to control the formatting of the address) and if I could make it into a control which I can just drag and drop onto my forms it would save alot of time.
I have googled this and I haven't found any sites which seem to be useful (so this probably is that I am not using the correct name or something).
So I was wondering whether anyone knows of any websites which give details on how I would be able to do this.

Thanks for any help in advance

You will need VB6 (or C++) to do this. Do you have one of those?

I think I should have an old copy of VB6 lying around somewhere
