DesignSurface Problem

Hi,

I have a Form Editor (default features ). IfI open 2 forms( one DesignSurface for each)for edition and"dispose" one anymore I can "resize" any control on other. If I open other form, the first go back to work.

How to solve this problem ? It is very easy to reproduce.

I'm using .NET 3.5.

Regard,
Alexnaldo Santos

Hi Alexnaldo,

I tested your code into VS2008/VS2005 environment, and yes this occurs...

I found an solution , it's not elegant but can help to find the formal solution!

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form frm = forms[0];
frm.Close();
frm.Dispose();
forms.Remove(frm);

((Form2)forms[0]).Initialize(); //<-- trick
}

running perfectly!

I hope help you!

I need an example for serialize/deseriable to XML from an custom formdesigner, can you send me an tiny sample how to do it ?

Thanks Alexnaldo!
Jorge

PD: I think that Internals Services of DesignSurface requires an refresh ...

In the example, "Initialize()" create the Designer and I can't do it for every closed (previous) designer.

I would like to know why if I open a new "Form Editor" the previous go back to accept "resize".

MS Team, please, help me with this problem.
