OK - This is driving me absolutely nuts. winres seems to be almost unusable
with inherited controls/forms that are at all interesting. Surely there must
be a hotfix for this - the thought of having to unravel my controls and forms
makes me shudder :)

I've found the following 2 bugs in winres

·         If you have *any* public subcontrols in a base control, winres
will refuse to open the .resx file for the derived control. (This is
especially bad since its quite common to have a public panel in a base
control)

·         If you have a control in a derived control that overlaps a control
in the base control, winres displays them in the wrong z-order. (This is
horrible – consider a panel in the base class control)

and for good measure, this bug in Visual Studio
·         If you have a private container (e.g. panel,groupbox) in a base
control and drop something onto it in the derived control, Visual studio
generates the wrong code (it generates all the code to create the new object
but never adds it to anything) – the effect of this is that the dropped
control magically disappears after you compile

Please tell me I am missing something!
