Hi,

I'm using CLI/C++ to develop a custom control in VC2005 IDE for fun. I wrote
a designer class inheriting from ControlDesigner. I overrode Initialize
method to set up initial control properties like:
void MyDesigner::Initialize(IComponent^ component)
{
 this->component = component;
 Plate^ plate = safe_cast<Plate^>(component);
 Plate->PanSize = Size(140, 140);

 ControlDesigner::Initialize(component);
}

I also overrode SelectionRules property to make the control not resizable on
the designing form.
     virtual property System::Windows::Forms::Design::SelectionRules
SelectionRules
     {
         System::Windows::Forms::Design::SelectionRules get () override
       {
         return
           System::Windows::Forms::Design::SelectionRules::Visible |
           System::Windows::Forms::Design::SelectionRules::Moveable;
       }
     };

I then added the designer attribute to my plate class:
   [Designer("PlateDesigner", "ControlDesigner")]
   public ref class Plate : public Control

I compiled/linked the code allright. However, when I drag and drop it from
general Toolbox of IDE onto the form, the control doesn't have the initial
size as I set up (i.e. 140x140), and also the resizing little resizing boxes
still appear. I'm new to such designable custom control. Could anyone tell me
what right way to control initial value and designtime behaviour when a
designable custom control is dropped from toolbox?

Thanks
