I am making a simple chat box control. Its just a hobby project to learn. I want to make my own control like below :

enter image description here

I have learnt how to paint graphics and text onto a custom control surface inheriting from control using OnPaint. But problem is I want this control to have the elements in the screenshot, most importantly to be able to infinitly scroll. Had a try googling but didnt find any answer.

Also because its painted, I probably wont be able to differentiate between the different users, or the speech bubbles as they are all the same to the control.

But is there a way to know the user is clicking on a certain bubble, or certain user? And the other question was how to make it scrollable?

Many thanks in advance.

    If you want to make it scrollable, you should try to make each comment a separate panel & add that panel to your control.
    Then set the autosize property of your control to true (you will need to make your control a panel, inheriting control doesn’t have autosize property).

    For the clicking on the bubbles, I suggest again to make each bubble a custom control & then add it to the panel (the panel inside your main panel), then just use the MouseEnter event.
