Embed ​.NET controls into a symbol

You must embed the installed .NET controls into System Platform symbols so that you can configure and use them.

We recommend that you do not overlap .NET controls with other elements on the canvas. Otherwise, the .NET controls may not work correctly.

Note: Embedding the Button Bar control is a special case. For more information, see Embed the Button Bar control.
