Visual inheritance in derived Forms

Hi, is it planned to add the possibility to edit collection-based controls like strips and grids in derived forms? I really don't like the situation, where i must place the same menu on every derived form, because i must hide some parent buttons and add some new. Yes, i can do it in code, but it's really inconvenient, isn't it? I've read similar topic, where it was explained, that the collection problems are the reason for making those inherited controls read only, but please is there really nothing to do with it? At least for those, who aware of possible issues? I still have a hope to have a real visual inheritance in next Visual Studio. I'm sure there will be lots of programmers, that would desire such functionality either.

Regards,
Pavel

YES! It's really usefull thing. I very need it and I very want it.

It's stupid to write same code in N-th forms which differnce each other a little.

I can't upgrade my application from VS 2002 to VS2008 because of this problem.

I must spend a lot of money to find another solution.

I'm not happy!

Please, write a hotfix to solve the problem
