In short: the continuous control is a control that in the designer can take any control (or multiple controls) and when bound to a bindingsource shows it as list of that entity of controls. Those having used access know the concept as a subform.

(The quick quickversion: add this control to a form, add a bindingsource, set the bindingsource property of the control to that bindingsource, drop some controls onto the continuous control (make sure they have databindings to the same source if they need to updated per record) and you're set to go.)
If, by any chance you want to know about how the control came to be, (or if you're simply have absolutely nothing interesting to do ;-) ), visit this link: http://blogs.vbcity.com/hotdog/archive/2006/10/26/6571.aspx
