Modifying Controls on Inherited Form

[joe_pool_is]

I've created a base form with (among other commonly used controls) a DataGridView control.

 

It's Design Modifiers Property is set to Public so that I can position the control to where it is needed on my various inherited forms.

 

However, on all of the Inherited Forms, all of the properties of the DataGridView control are grayed out.

 

Other "base form controls" (a custom control, a picture box, and a status bar) are all able to be modified on the inherited forms.

 

How do I get them enabled?

Solved it.

 

The control I needed, the DataGridView control, is not inheritable. Apparently, there are some controls that Microsoft has decided not to allow one to inherit.
