I really need some help when it comes to creating custom controls. I need to know what to do to get started. If someone could give me like a short tutorial or something of how to start then that would be a big help. Thanks!

Thats a link to custom controls in the MSDN library...I however have always liked osmotic exposure or the learn by doing approach...open VS and choose a new project and under project types select custom control...it should open up to a design surface...simply drag a textbox to that surface...and wha-la you have created a custom control...now granted there is no speration between your control and a textbox at this time...but if you write a few methods you could create a custom textbox that only accepts numeric input....
