group:Inherited Controls
dotnet windows forms designtime:
When inheriting from a superclass, there is one situation wherein I would
like to hide some of the inheritted controls at design time. Can I do this?
OK, fair question. I've created a SuperClass which includes, in addition to
a bunch of code, three visual control elements. Now I'm creating a test form to test some of the code and some additional code and the controls are really in the way of the test buttons and textboxes, etc., that I'm putting on this test form. I just don't want to see them at design time. At run time, they are hidden by some start up code.

Right. Within the Load method of the form, I've set the Visible property to
false on each of the controls that I don't want to see at run time, and that works. It's just that they're anoying during design and I was wondering if I could make them non-visible there as well. Seems unlikely, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Are you asking about hiding inherited properties or did you really mean
hiding inherited controls within some type of composite control (like a UserControl)? -- Tim Wilson ..Net Compact Framework MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Christopher Weaver" <we.aver@nospamverizon.net> wrote in message news:eyFhYIlsFHA.2996@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > When inheriting from a superclass, there is one situation wherein I would > like to hide some of the inheritted controls at design time.

So the controls are supposed to be hidden at runtime too? If so then just
set the "Visible" property of each control to false from within the constructor (sub New in VB). Or is there more to this? -- Tim Wilson ..Net Compact Framework MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Christopher Weaver" <we.aver@nospamverizon.net> wrote in message news:OJmgColsFHA.3452@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > OK, fair question.

So it sounds like you're doing visual inheritance with forms. Is that
correct? If that's the case then, as far as I know, you cannot hide the controls that are inherited from the base form at design-time. I thought that you may have been refering to a custom control, like a custom UserControl, that contains other controls. -- Tim Wilson ..Net Compact Framework MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Christopher Weaver" <we.aver@nospamverizon.net> wrote in message news:e1n%23RAnsFHA.912@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > Right.
