I would like to replace
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.BannerTextProvider
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.BannerTextInfo
with equivalent (or similar) DevExpress component or just System.Windows.Forms. Any suggestion please?

BannerTextProvider helps to customize the editor control appearance. You can also change the banner text color, Mode and etc.
BannerTextProvider includes the following modes.
FocusMode: The banner text disappears when the control gets focus.
EditMode: The banner text disappears only when the control is in Edit Mode or when the associated textbox is not empty.
Please check below sample for your reference.

Could you please share us, what difficulty you are facing with Syncfusion BannerText Component? That will be helpful for us to analyze and provide solution.

I am working in plain old native C on Windows. No other platforms, no C++. (Yes, I'm a dinosaur.)
I am trying to find an example of what I think of as an "owner draw tooltip control" but that does not appear to exist. At least not for the standard Windows tooltip control. I have tried to search for a library or source that implements a custom tooltip control, but all I can find is things that extend controls in .NET (or in other environments that are not where I am working.)
My hope is to support markdown (or something like it) for the text in the tooltip window. Mostly, I want to clearly differentiate the title from the content, and have some limited formatting of the content (bold, italics, color, and columns, mostly.)
I don't expect a full solution here, I am just hoping that someone else has already found a solution and can point me to where they found it. Please?
Tooltips cannot be owner drawn, but they can be "custom drawn".
Custom drawn Win32 controls allow you to override the built-in drawing by receiving and responding to the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification. You can read about custom draw here.
You can refer to the specific documentation on the tooltip control, see:
NM_CUSTOMDRAW (tooltip) notification code
Finally, here is a good tutorial demonstrating the whole thing in C.
I have designed a Devexpress winform with many Devexpress controls.
When it is loading,the form gets flickering.
Is there any solution,for loading of my form smoothly?
Have you tried using a DataLayoutControl and set the methods "BeginUpdate" and "EndUpdate". This should help against the flickering.
This question is very old, but I answer it for someone else.
If the form is a general form(WinForm) rather than a form in Devexpress, it flashes when the entire form is redrawn if you used the Devexpress control in that form.
Make sure that the form you are using is XtraForm, and if it is not XtraForm, you must recreate it as XtraForm.
If you use XtraForm and it blinks Follow #Ronaldk6's comments.
Is there a free implementation of the text box in Blend's property grid that allows you to change the number by clicking and dragging? Or perhaps another way to ask is what kind of control called so I can google it?
just try this
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/MicrosoftBlendStyleTextBo.aspx
It's called a numeric UpDown control. (Terrible name, I know).
MS has a sample implementation for WPF, although I think you'll have to provide the draggable part yourself.
I need to create some mini-windows, like the ones shown in the image bellow, in my winform main form.
It would be nice if they could be draggable, resizable, and, mainly, closable.
How can I approach this design? Has anybody already seen some control (with code available) implementing something similar?

A normal Form works fine for this. Set its FormBorderStyle to either FixedToolWindow or SizableToolWindow as desired.
If you want to keep your floating windows inside your main window, use MDI (Multiple Document Interface). Here is a tutorial (Google can find you many more).
Have you tried just setting the FormBorderStyle property to SizeableToolWindow?
Is that what you're after?
You can create them as resizable and draggable custom controls.
You could use my example at:

I'm trying to apply a specific style to a slider control and I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do for the slider's background. What do I need to do to get something like this triangle to show in the background of my slider?
I initially thought I would define a GeometryDrawing and set something in the tickbar tag to it - but I can't find anything suitable.
This is what I'm looking for. Thanks for any ideas.

Check out my Intuipic project, which does something similar (only horizontally):
you need to investigate a bit more into styling and templatiting in wpf. I would expect the easiest way would be to define a Control Template but you 'might' be able to achieve this with just styling
Check out this page on msdn for starters. There is probably loads of other resources out there. Big sections on it in the book i'm reading at the moment - pro wpf in c# 2008
Sorry i'm not coming up with an example... you'd be better off doing a bit of background reading and then coming back with any specific issues.
