You have to create e 16x15 bitmap using your favorite editor (Paint is ok)
and then assign it to the ToolboxBitmap property of your UserControl
This is what MSDN says, and it is correct. What it DOES NOT say is that VB
uses the color of the pixels at the corners as the 'transparent' mask color,
so you can create fancy icons (like the Timer control). I do not remember
which corner is used, or if more than one, I just put in all four corners
colors that I do not use anyplace else
