Derived Control as User Control

[Malfunction]

I want to use controls derived from standard controls (e.g. RadioButton, ChackBox) as User Controls in order to show them in the forms designer.

When I add a new user control and change it's inheritance to e.g. RadioButton the Radiobutton will appear during runtime but not in the designer.

The designer only shows an empty user control.

Is there a way to show an inherited control in the designer?

Not automatically. The best way is to create your control, build your project, put a normal radio button on your form and then edit the designer-generated code so it declares and instantiates your own type. Switching back to the design view will then show your control.
