Is there a way to have a Class that inherits from a control not show the
designer when double-clicked, but just show the code window? The class
cannot be designed, so it doesnt do any good to show the designer. I am
thinking there is probably an attribute for that, but I can't seem to find
it anywhere.

Rick,

you can apply the System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute to the
class with a value of "code" like this (C# syntax):
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategory("code")]

Thanks. This does seem to work well, but in VB it seems that you have to
delete the .resx file, or it still goes into design mode sometimes. Its
kind of sporadic when it does it, but without the .resx, it seems to be
working well.

Thanks again.

Rick
