Make Your Own Cognos Controls with the CogBox Control Creator

One of the great features of the Bag o' Tricks section of CogBox is a control creator. This can be used to create template report objects, like custom controls. What's awesome about this, is that not only does this offer a place for PMsquare's controls, you can also use it to host your own.
