How to replace existing MaskedTextBox?

[Robert]

I'd like to use your extended version instead of the original implementation in an already existing project, but I'm having trouble replacing the MaskedTextBox. I've copied the files in the /src folder to my project, but so far I wasn't successful in replacing the existing control with your version.
I.e. I would like to keep all the formatting (location, size, etc) of the existing control and simply replace the type. So far I only encountered custom controls that directly extended the original one, and there I could just replace the "System.Windows.Forms.ControlName" with "CustomName.Space.CustomControlName", but yours seems to be a bit different, and I haven't really understood yet how to do this in this case.

Ok, for anyone reading this in the future, I needed to create a new class that inherits from the abstract class, and then call this new class from the Form and Form Designer.

E.g. like this:

using System;
[...]
using Opulos.Core.UI;

namespace CustomControls {
    public partial class MyMaskedTextBox : MaskedTextBox<Object> {
        public override Object TextToValue(String text) {
            return default(Object);
        }

        public override String ValueToText(Object value) {
            return null;
        }

        public MyMaskedTextBox() {
            [...]
        }
    }
}

This way it also shows up in the designer.
