Here's an example you can dig into.

This article discusses subclassing of common controls.
Should be enough to get your learn on.
Why use someone else's crappy control when you can make your own - and learn alot in the process

Any particular type of control?
I might have an example (of how not to do it).

Is there any reason you don't use MFC?
