Background:
I have created a base form in a class library. This base form contains a menu, an image list, and a toolbar. I set the Modifier properties for these items to Protected.
Then, in a new project, and using the form designer, I created a new form derived from the base form by adding an inherited form, and selecting the base form. In this new project, I added a new menu item, an image to the image list, and a button to the toolbar, and a label to the derived form. Next, I built the project, saved the files, and closed the project.
Issue:
When I reopen the project, I found the following:
(1) The new menu item did not appear
(2) The new image was not in the image list
(3) The new button was not on the toolbar
(4) However! -- the new label did appear on the derived form
When I reopen this project, I think I would expect to see the new menu item, and button with appropriate image on the toolbar, as well as the label.
I am new to developing classes and deriving from other classes, so I am sure there is something obvious that I am overlooking; however, I am stumped. I have exhausted my personal library, and could not find the issue on the forum. I would appreciate, very much, any advice regarding this issue. Thanks.
