Hi,

I think this is a bug:

Make a form, add some controls. Add MustInherit to the form
declaration and save it.

Try and create an inherited form based on it - the form is not shown
in the list.

Remove MustInherit and it appears in the list.

I came across this because I wanted to create a form in which I have
to populate some functions on the subclassed version. If I create a
Sub with Mustoverride I have to declare the class with MustInherit -
logical. But noone seems to have "told" the picker.

Pain in the BTM.

No, it's a limitation of the windows forms designer.

You must not declare forms as 'MustInherit' if you want to use them with
the Windows Forms designer.
