I have created two forms. One of them isthe main form, and the other acts like a message box and will be spawned from the main form using the command, "m_Form2.ShowDialog(this)". To this end, I have added the variable m_Form2 to the designer, and I can now access my classfrom the designer window. However, when I added m_Form2 to the mainform, instead of displaying the form in the designer, I want it to simply add an icon with "m_Form2" next to itat the bottom of the screen like it would do if I added a System.Windows.Forms.Timer object. Instead, it is showing m_Form2. Does anyone know how I can preventm_Form2 from actually being shown in the designer, while still allowing me to modify the properties of it like I would a Timer or DataSource? Thanks,
