Hi,

I'm creating a small library to build my CF applications on. There's stuff
in there like transparent labels, etc... I would also like to subclass
System.Windows.Forms.Form (for example to simplify image backgrounds).

It works, but I can't load the form in my designer anymore. The app is
running fine however. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to fool
the designer?

It's well known and well documented that the form designer if Studio 03
doesn't support Form inheritance.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

Before I asked this question, I did search the net but found very little
information on this subject. If it is well known, as you say, I must have
used the wrong keywords. So, sorry!

I just googled the following:

"compact framework visual inheritance"

And got a lot of relevant stuff. Some might be useful for the proposed
workarounds.
