   When using the "Add Fields" verb, controls are added to the form based on the DataType. I am looking for a way to add the control I want. For example, an INTEGER, DECIMAL and INT64 will use the UltraNumericEditor. I would prefer to use the UltraMaskedEditor as well as use my own properties for the control. What is the easiest way of doing this besides adding an OVERLOAD to CreateControlForField in my BindingSource?
   
   I noticed in the source there is a property called CustomControlTypes but can find much documentation on this.

   To utilitze the custom control types, you need to use an extended SmartBindingSource (through inheritance). 
   
   In the Constructor, you could
   
   THIS-OBJECT:CustomControlTypes:Add (Progress.Data.DataType:CHARACTER, "full type name with package of desired control") .
