Hello,

My intellisense doesn't seem to be picking up on the methods or properties unique to a PrintPreviewDialog. For example,
"ppd.MinimizeBox = True" works however the "MinimiseBox" doesn't show up in my intellisense - this is strange because every other component shows it's properties & methods.

When creating a property on a class you could hide it from the designer (Browsable(false), from the serializer (DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden) and even, YES, from the IDE (EditorBrowsable(Never)).

Specifically - this is how the MinimeBox property looks like "for real" (via Reflector).

[DefaultValue(false), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never), Browsable(false)] public bool MinimizeBox { get { return base.MinimizeBox; } set { base.MinimizeBox = value; } }

Ariel,

Thank-you for your reply - The PrintPreviewDialog is an object provided by System.Windows.Form so I cannot modify the properties. Maybe Microsoft has specified the property 'MinimizeBox' as EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never), ??

Has this problem occured for others?

That's exactly right: the code above is the actual implementation of the "MinimizeBox" property on that PrintPreviewDialog.

If you're not familiar with the Reflector or other disassemblers - these are the kind of tools which let you read any un-obfuscated assemblies as plain code.
