Hello all,
I'm wading my way into .net by writing some custom
controls. I would like to provide a parent class to these
controls to give them easy access to common information.
Initially tried this as a panel, but find that I can't
drop non-visual components onto panels (they fall through
to the main form). So now I am wondering is it possible to
override the main application form with a user-authored
form?
I tried to do this by inheriting from
System.Windows.Forms.Form, but when I instantiate such a
control in the IDE, it actually appears to spawn a new
thread consisting of an independent windows form which
can't be accessed using the normal designer interface.
Unrelated question - anyone know of a good online
reference on Attributes?
Thanks,
Markus
