how to make my own component?

[oqapsking]

is it possible to make my own component to use with advance hmi ?
for example
i have a moving picture
if the coil is on the picture start moving
if the coil is off the picture stops
and a visible address to use

with thanks

To make a control from scratch is possible, but takes some fairly advanced knowledge of .NET and GDI+. In the Additional Components section of the forum, you will find several examples with full source code.

thanks for replaying

i used to make them when i was using DMT.dll Library
the library that communicate with delta plc

i was doing it like this :
1- add new item ( user control )
2- i put in its designer what i need
-picture box
-(3) text boxes one for each variable and hide them
-timer

3-i disable the picture box
4- i put the request data function in the timer
in the function there is 3 variables
a- the device address (coil address in my case)
then if the received data is 0 then picture box is disabled
and if the received data is 1 then picture box is enabled

5- i put the property i need to be able to change it ( witch in my case is the plc  value address )
6- rebuild the project

so in the end
the when i choose it from the toolsbox

i put the value address
and when i start the program if the coil is on the picture moves

no i wanna be able to do that with the advancehmi 
so i want the code
that i should use to send and receive data using it
