I need to inherit from it so I can remove access to a few properties in the
designer. If I use a designer inherited from ParentControlDesigner I lose
design-time mouse events.

You can't inherit from this class. You'd have to roll your own.

My biggest complaint about DotNet, there are way too many classes that are
not inheritable.

Hmmm... put the verbs back in... override WndProc for MouseMove and
Activate... make a new IDesignerMouseEventListener interface... yep I guess
that works.

thanks,
Bob

Did you get your designer to work properly?
I've just started to do this and I can't get any mousebutton events for the
DesignSurface that is not a TabItem.

For anybody that's interested...

just intercept WM_NCHITTEST and return HTCLIENT instead of HTTRANSPARENT.
