Container User control

[michaelrawi]

Greetings

How can I make a user control that can act as a container ? Can I see a simple sample (you can post a link if you like)

Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean by a control that can act as a container? I would assume by this you want a control that can be used at design time similar to a panel? I've never tried it, but I would suggest writing a control that inherits ContainerControl.

Visual Studio does not provide a designer for ContainerControl inheritors.

You need to tag your UserControl as a parent control so that the Windows Forms Designer knows your intent to use it as such.

Yes. I want to make a user control like a panel control.

Ok, I've looked up the MSDN article. I'm going to try it. Thanks everyone

This thread was really helpful. I was just having the same idea and thought let me check the boards. Vola! Here it is.

Thanks
