So in order to go ahead and build one, I assume i'll have to build a custom control, acquire knowledge in GDI+ and inherit and manipulate the datagrid component?


So far, so good. Though, I'd forget the DataGrid stuff and just draw the entire control using GDI.

So with the basics of what im trying to create here, im pretty much clueless on how I'm going to go ahead and build one as I never build a custom control before.


You've picked a very LARGE one to start with. I'd recommend not doing this until you've gone through some smaller controls to get the basics of how controls work, drawing, managing your controls state, managing data, databinding support, and the relationship between your data model and drawing it.

Your control is going to have to track a bunch of data and do a ton of math to figure out how it's going to draw itself, positioning text, bars, grid lines (if any), ... Start small and work your way up.
