Designer moves buttons around

Hey,
I have several forms which derive from one base form.
The base form provides OkButton and CancelButton and some other stuff.
Every time i open one of the derived forms in designer, OkButton and CancelButton are gone. The designer moves them along the x axis to some random location far outside my form.

For example:
I move the OkButton to (150;10) and close the designer.
When i compile, the button is at the right location.
If i reopen the designer, the button is at (1150;10) or some other random x coordinate.

I noticed this in Vs 2008 and Vs 2008 sp1.

any ideas?

Hi Arne B.

I want to know did the OkButton and CancelButton in your base form were protected or public? When you create a derived form. You can just change the protected or public member inherited from your base form. Please give me more information about that. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Kira Qian

They are protected.

You mean the derived form will change the location of the two button randomly. In design time or run time?

The derived form changes the X-Coordinate of the buttons randomly at design time.
