.NET Forum / Windows Forms / Design Time / September 2005Inherited Controls
When inheriting from a superclass, there is one situation wherein I would like to hide some of the inheritted controls at design time. Can I do this? Are you asking about hiding inherited properties or did you really mean hiding inherited controls within some type of composite control (like a UserControl)?

Can I do this? OK, fair question. I've created a SuperClass which includes, in addition to a bunch of code, three visual control elements. Now I'm creating a test form to test some of the code and some additional code and the controls are really in the way of the test buttons and textboxes, etc., that I'm putting on this test form. I just don't want to see them at design time. At run time, they are hidden by some start up code. > Are you asking about hiding inherited properties or did you really mean > hiding inherited controls within some type of composite control (like a [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> like to hide some of the inheritted controls at design time.

Within the Load method of the form, I've set the Visible property to false on each of the controls that I don't want to see at run time, and that works. It's just that they're anoying during design and I was wondering if I could make them non-visible there as well. Seems unlikely, but I thought I would ask anyway. > So the controls are supposed to be hidden at runtime too?

If that's the case then, as far as I know, you cannot hide the controls that are inherited from the base form at design-time. I thought that you may have been refering to a custom control, like a custom UserControl, that contains other controls. SignatureTim Wilson .Net Compact Framework MVP > Right.
