dotnet windows forms: Hi there,

I need to determine if an arbitrary control appears on a form's design tray
or the actual form itself (or other parent container). Is the following
check reliable or is there an official way (or something cleaner). Thanks.

public static bool IsTrayControl(Control control)
{
return (TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(control)["TrayLocation"] != null);
}

[quoted text, click to view]

Don't all controls show up on the Form? I thought only things derived
from Component but not from Control end up in the tray area.
