Does Visual Studio support windowless controls?

Each control that you add to a toolbar in Visual Studio:

should ¹ go down with Control, which is a wrapper around the window element .

Unfortunately, Windowed elements are very heavy; the presence of a large number of them, especially nested ones, leads to poor performance in WinForms.

In the past, I ran into a problem by creating aggregated user controls. The user control internally contains other windowless controls:

• ( PictureBox)
• title label ( Label)
• ( Label)
• border ( Panel)
