Do Windows Forms Controls run without the form?

Question

1. Can I use some features of a control without rendering it?
2. Can I use some features of a control in a console app?

NB: I tried to use a hidden WebBrowser control, but it didn't work.

Answer 1

Yes, you can create an instance of a control without adding it to a form.

If you have a question about specific functionality, you'll need to ask it specifically.

Answer 2

I answered this in your previous question, controls like WebBrowser need a message loop. There is no message loop in a console app.
